"...more than Bush did when the nation was clamoring for him to fire the head of FEMA. Maybe it's because the head of FEMA was an unqualified-for-his-job drinking buddy..." ~ mouse

fact: Michael Brown resigned from his job as director of FEMA exactly seven weeks after Katrina hit. He was asked to leave by president Bush.

fact: George W. Bush was an average social drinker in college, as most of us were. He became a strict tea-toteler about 1976, nearly 30 years before Katrina. Michael Brown was not a great choice in the first place and he has admitted that himself, but any connection implied involving the "drinking buddy" claim is wrong.
