First let me say, Paul Krugman is an ass.
But that aside, today he attempts to play one of his funny little "word games" on the Bush Administration called, "Find the Brownie"
"The objective in Find the Brownie is to find an obscure but important government job held by someone whose only apparent qualifications for that job are political loyalty and personal connections. It’s inspired by President Bush’s praise, four days after Katrina hit, for the hapless Michael Brown, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency: “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job.” I guess it depends on the meaning of the word heck."
Now the real that Paul is an ass is,...well, read his crap and you'll see the case is closed on that, ...is that he doesn't research his pieces, he just regurgitates the same incompetent and uninformed crap over and over again.
Is it any wonder the NY Times is going down the toilet?
Well Mr. Krugman, witness the real "Brownie"!
The following is an excerpt from an article Clinton's Mythical FEMA, written by Jim Kouri, Vice President of the National Association of Chief's of Police:
" Another criticism by Hillary's comrades in the Democrat Party and by her pals in the news media is that President Bush staffed FEMA with his cronies such as Mike Brown. But no one in the memory-impaired news media appears to remember Bill Clinton's cronies including Buddy Young.
Raymond Lloyd "Buddy" Young was appointed FEMA's Director of Region VI by President Clinton in 1993. As regional director, he coordinated FEMA mitigation, preparedness and disaster response and recovery activities in: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. In 1997, he served as Acting Deputy Director for the agency. Mr. Young is a veteran of 26 years of service for the Arkansas State Police. He joined FEMA after serving as director of security for then-Governor Bill Clinton, a post he had held since 1983. In other words, Young's experience entailed covering for Bill during his alleged trysts. His education consists of a certificate in public administration from the University of Arkansas. No college degrees and no emergency management experience (unless his yelling, "Bill, quick zip your fly. Hillary's coming!" constitutes managing an emergency).
Cronies? The Clintons were the king and queen of cronyism. Remember their Chief of White House Personnel Security Craig "where the hell did those FBI files come from" Livingstone? His security experience entailed work as a bouncer at strip clubs and discos. I can only surmise why Bill Clinton felt obligated to a man with those security credentials."
When it came to cronism, no one did it better than the Clintons!
Where's Paul's "Brownie" on that?
