Email to Brown claims Bush was happy former FEMA head was taking heat for Katrina response An "embarrasing email" leaked by former FEMA head Michael Brown to CNN quotes President Bush as saying at a Cabinet meeting held shortly after Katrina that he was pleased that Brown was taking most of the heat for the federal government's roundly criticized response to the hurricane.

"I'd rather they beat up on him than me or Chertoff," President Bush allegedly said at the meeting, referring to the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff. The sender also thanked Brown for "diverting hostile fire away from the leader."

CNN wasn't able to conclusively confirm that the email sent on September 7, 2005 came from the White House, but Brown said that it was sent to him by a high-level White House official, and the sender's email address ends with "eop.gov," as in "Executive Office of the President." The sender's name was blocked out by the network, as per Brown's request. http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Email_to_Brown_claims_Bush_was_0609.html

1. I think that this email was reported around the time Brown

was fired and I don't recall any denial by the Whitehouse.

2. Brown and his attorney just did an interview on CNN and Brown said he

was loyal to the president but he owes no loyalty to Chertoff and he's tired of chertoff blaming him every time he opens his mouth. brown better be careful.. his odds of having an accident just shot up.

3. Heard this on the radio. Bush is truly a coward.

He can't bring himself to take responsibility for anything he does. He murders people and point his finger at others. Truly a coward among cowards.

5. "Brown-Nose, you're doing a heck of a job..."

"...a heck of a job of taking the crap while Chertoff and me hide, heh heh!"
