Yep, Brownie's Doing a Heckuva Job Pimping BushCo Disaster Services

Former Republican Governor Jeb Bush is set to lead a newly formed FOR-PROFIT natural disaster response company. According to the Maritime Executive, Bush’s newly created firm, Old Rhodes Holding LLC, joined forces with O’Brien’s Response Management, a subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings, to form a for-profit disaster response company.

Brownie, aka former FEMA director Michael Brown, thinks the president jumped in too soon with disaster assistance to New Jersey and New York. No really, he does.

So Mr. Heckuva Job Brownie, who managed to get it so very, very wrong during Hurricane Katrina thinks he's going to score a couple of political points and lay a foundation to pimp Jebbie's newest venture?

Yeah, I don't think so. The Obama administration's response to Brownie's insanity was for Craig Fugate to crisply respond with this:

"Better to be fast than to be late," Fugate said in an interview on NPR Tuesday morning.

Are you f*ing kidding me? After Romney says, push FEMA to the states or better yet to private industry, and here is Gov Bush forming a for-profit natural disaster response company? I was repelled when I heard him yesterday saying how Obama could not lead (as Obama was touring the Sandy disaster with Christie). Now I'm furious!!!!
