Michael Brown Reveals All in a Playboy Interview

Brownie, you give a heckuva interview! Former FEMA chief Michael Brown unloads about his post-Katrina downfall in the August issue of Playboy -- calling himself a "scapegoat," warning that the nation is even "less-prepared" for this year's hurricane season, and sharing some PG-13 opinions of former colleagues.

· On Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), accusing him in a hearing of not comprehending the devastation: "For that little twerp to claim I didn't understand death and suffering -- he can just bite me, for all I care."

· On President Bush saying the levee breaches were unexpected: "He doesn't have an incredible command of the English language."

· On DHS boss Michael Chertoff ordering him out of the field: "I am so mad at myself for not saying 'screw you.' "

· On Bush calling him "Brownie": "It's typical of the president. He's a cheerleader . . . How many people in the world do you think have ever called me Brownie? . . . When he used that nickname, a lot of people in the media went, Is he an insider?"

· On his much-mocked prior job with the International Arabian Horse Association: "Dealing with horses' asses taught me how to deal with the federal government."

2. LOL! He's not doing a bad job of rehabilitating himself. I almost like him

[Bluebear]

3. Thought the same thing!

Almost. :)

7. He accepted an important job involving human life for which he was not

qualified.

He is an asshole. He still thinks the whole thing was about how he looks. Fuck that fashion god.

4. Revenge is sweet, isn't it Brownie? Sometimes the truth hurts.

I think he knows where some of the Bush Administration bodies are buried. He'd be wise to watch what he does, they may not like him running around loose making these comments.

I am beginning to like the guy a bit, though. At least he has the guts to stand up and not take any more crap from Bush and his cronies.

5. Who knew "brownie" was

such a wiseass?

With talk like that..he better watch his back. He might find one of those "horses asses'" in bed!

6. Or a head in his pool! n/t

10. With a nasty & arrogant attitude like that.....

it's easy to see why bush thought he deserved a spot in his admin.

They deserve each other. Arrogant & incompetent. Two peas in a pod.

9. There's plenty of blame to go around including you, Brownie!

He seems to be pointing fingers at everybody but himself. He could have gone public at the time and said, "Hey! You idiots we have a real crisis here." As I recall he didn't want to be interrupted while he was eating dinner and stuff like that. He hasn't redeemed himself with me.

11. Agree Completely

He took a job he wasn't prepared to do, had the whole thing implode on him, then has spent the last year trying to deflect the blame. Every bit of it. All of it is someone else's fault.

Now, he is showing that there are idiots on the right he doesn't like, but i think that's a "well duh" situation. You shouldn't have thrown in with that crowd in the first place, you twit. They were bad people when you got drawn into their web. Some of the blame has to be placed on Mikey.
