I read this story about Michael Brown’s “blame game” in this morning’s Seattle Times…
“Ironically, it started with an organization called horsesass.org,” Brown told Congress, “that on some blog published a false and, frankly, in my opinion, defamatory statement that the media just continued to repeat over and over. … I guess it’s the media’s job. But I don’t like it. I think it’s false. It came at the wrong time. And I think it led potentially to me being pulled out of Louisiana because it made me somewhat ineffective.”
So there you have it. The man heading the response to the biggest natural disaster in the history of the most powerful country in the world was neutered by a Web site named for the buttocks of a horse.
Or really for Tim Eyman.
So was the Horsesass story about him getting fired by the International Arabian Horse Association false? Was it defamatory? No.
And he says the story made him “somewhat ineffective.” That’s right, the head of FEMA was crushed by a true story about his previous employment. Now that’s what I call a strong leader.
Horse’s Ass indeed…
