blzrul Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Is this more of the blatant arrogance that has characterized the Bushistas? Or an attempt to cash in on notoriety? Perhaps a really, really bad joke? Ex-Fema Loser to Start Emergency Preparedness Consulting Company
Ghost of BiB Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Maybe he's going for the tax write offs? Starting a business and actually landing work are not the same thing.

/dev/null Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 How can this fool want to have a job and get on with his life! Doesn't he know that failed public figures are supposed to write their memoirs, retire, and fade away!

Didn't the dwarf labor guy under Clinton do that?
RI Bills Fan Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 How can this fool want to have a job and get on with his life! 512485[/snapback] It's all just a ruse while he learns the immortal phrase, "Do you want fries with that?".

BushBad! Katrina! there, order has been restored

X. Benedict Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 Didn't the dwarf labor guy under Clinton do that? 512491[/snapback] I thought he went north to help Santa.

Didn't the dwarf labor guy under Clinton do that? 512491[/snapback] Whether one liked Reich's policies or not (and I doubt that most people, myself included, know much about his philosophy other than the fact of his being in the Clinton administration), he had a BA from Dartmouth, was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, had a JD from Yale, and was on the faculty of Harvard and Brandeis. He's also written a dozen books and helped found some political magazines. Not exactly the same track as Michael Brown. But hey, call the guy a midget and score some easy partisan-points. Way to show credibility.

Frantic New Orleans FEMA caller: Mr. Brown, NO is sinking! What do you recommend? Brown: Could you hold one second, I'm on the other line trying to get a table at Spagos. FNOFC: WTF?! Brown: Hello again, what was that you said? FNOFC: I said NO is F#@!ing sinking! Brown: Oh. Well, the first thing you need to do is hold a press conference. FNOFC: Press conference?!?!? I need the F@!ing national guard and supplies!!!! Brown: No, no, no. First a press conference. What color is your hair? FNOFC: WTF?!?!? Brown: Well you know it's important to look good on TV. If you have brown or reddish hair, then go with a little green in your suit; otherwise, standard dark blue. FNOFC: Jesus Christ! Can't you send me anything?!? Brown: yes, my fee of $1.5 million; what's your mailing address? FNOFC: click......

There was a scale model of the White House and Reich and and Clinton were looking at it and Bubba says to him" Maybe you could fit in there." He's also been on some sit-com if I remember correctly.

Doesn't he know that failed public figures are supposed to write their memoirs, retire, and fade away! 512485[/snapback] No problem with his desire to become a tax-paying citizen instead of being on the dole, but typically one works at a job one can actually DO. His starting this type of business is like a blind person's announcing his intention of becoming a commercial airline pilot. Yah, planes can arguably "almost fly themselves" with the right circumstances, conditions, instrumentation and supporting staff. but you still have to be able to actually SEE to pilot one. If nothing else but to be able to tell the cockpit from the rest room. Duh.

A small man laughs at him instead of with him. Lets face it - it's a pretty bleak world in which voluntarily making jokes at ones own expense instead of the expense of others is rewarded by giving every jack-ass out there license to hurl it back at you mean-spiritedly. But then, I suppose the anonymity of these forums appeal to those who think kindergarten name-calling (midget-, dwarf-, fat-, whatever) is clever repartee.
Wacka Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 I don't see you complaining when they call Bush stupid, chimp, etc. Befotre you say he did, he had better grades than Kerry.
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 The overall mental retardation represented in this thread is simply stunning.
