But the dim view of Brown's qualifications by senators seems to have emerged only in hindsight. Members of both parties seemed little troubled by his background at 2002 Senate hearings that led to his confirmation as deputy FEMA chief.

Indeed, Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, who led those hearings, called Brown's long-ago stint as assistant city manager in Edmond, Okla., a "particularly useful experience" because he had responsibility for local emergency services.

9. So Mike was okay with Joe in 2002. Then isn't it hypocritical of Joe to

tell the cameras that the disarray in the Gulf Coast (NOLA) tells the terrorists that we are "vulnerable" and "weak"?

Joe, you started it. Shut up.

10. no surprise here..Joe the repug Lieberman should just go ahead

and jump ship. I still can't believe A Gore chose him as his running mate. His lips should be sore from kissing so much * butt!
