The blogosphere is abuzz with the words and deeds of formerly disgraced FEMA Director Michael Brown. Since the release of the video tapes of President Bush being briefed on the dangers of Hurricane Katrina before the storm which contradicts what the President said after the storm, Brown has been rehabilitated.
On Friday you couldn't find a cable TV show without good 'ole Brownie on it. He did a two-segment lovefest with Chris Matthews on Hardball and then inexplicibly showed up on the flagship of liberal comedy shows, Realtime with Bill Maher on HBO.
Jane Hamser at firedoglake has done an excellent piece on this reincarnation of Michael Brown. In it she asks mentions that his sudden rehabilitation in the mind of the public "feels almost organized".
I'm not a gambling man but I would almost bet my last dime that it bloody well IS organized!
The multiple TV appearances are most definitely the work of a publicist. So who's paying for it? Where is the money coming from? Have they prepared for the inevitable Rovian counter-attack?
Oh yes and while we're at it let's ask this question: How did AP get that tape?
This is orchestrated and the only question is BY WHOM?
Who, besides Brownie, benefits from all this?
Obviously its the Democrats but have they matured enough to conduct such a sophisticated strategy? I doubt it. This has the smell of a classic Republican black bag operation and I think some traditional conservatives are finally fighting back.
Yes Jane, it's organized. If you can find out by whom then you're a genius.
