Fox News Trots Out Michael ‘Heckuva Job’ Brown To Attack Obama’s Response To Floods In Louisiana
It’s hard to think of anyone more discredited as a disaster-response expert than George W. Bush’s FEMA director during Hurricane Katrina, Michael Brown. But Brown is a conservative willing to criticize President Obama and that’s all the cred needed for Fox News.
In case you missed it, Brown is the guy Bush made infamous when he tragically said, “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job” as New Orleans drowned. And even though Brown has claimed he’s not to blame, the disgrace has stuck.
Brown visited Your World last week to give a thin veneer of neutrality to what was really little more than an excuse for Fox to exploit the Louisiana floods as a cudgel against President Obama.
Brown started off by “proving” he’s got nothing against Obama. “I want to defend President Obama for not going down during the response phase. That’s when you’re trying to get people off of rooftops, that’s when you’re trying to get people out of harm’s way,” Brown said.
