“Mike Brown testified today, under oath, that I did not include Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes in my original disaster declaration request sent to the President on August 28. In fact, that request did include 14 parishes in southeast Louisiana, including Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines.
“Mr. Brown further suggested that I did not order an evacuation of New Orleans until Sunday, Aug. 28. In fact, the evacuation was ordered on the morning of Saturday, August 27. Within 48 hours, 1.3 million citizens – representing more than 90 percent of the region — were safely evacuated in the state´s extraordinarily effective evacuation plan that included early use of contraflow on the interstate system.
“Such falsehoods and misleading statements, made under oath before Congress, are shocking. It clearly demonstrates the appalling degree to which Mr. Brown is either out of touch with the truth or reality.
“Today´s hearing only supports the need for a thorough, non-partisan investigation of this event.”
— Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco

You may see his “testamoney” as “shocking”, Gov. Blanco, but most of us “old timers” see “Brownies” act as just so much more “ROVESPIN PROPAGANDA” which is no doubt being paid for by our taxpayers, and very handsomely, without doubt.
Don’t forget that “Brownie” is now a consultant which means that his pay is on a “contract basis”—(kinda like Roberburtons, ya know?)—so they can give him enough to keep his mouth shut and pass the bill to “us”!
“Did Brownie lie under oath?”—WHEN DID “OATHS” MEAN ANYTHING TO ANYONE IN THE NEOCON ADMINISTRATION?—Of course he did….SO WHAT?
Thomas, Scalia, Rindquist, et al broke their oaths to put GWB in office in the first case, they lied us into war in Iraq, and on, and on ad nausium, so just who is the dim with that asks,”Did Brownie lie under oath?”
