VIDEO-- Heckuva quote, Brownie: "They want to raise this level because that gives them more attention"

By GottaLaff



Here's some advice, Brownie: Never open your mouth publicly again. Ever. You were already a laughingstock, and now you are an even bigger one, if that was even possible:

Yesterday, former FEMA chief Michael Brown went on Fox Business [...and] launched into a tirade accusing the WHO for addressing the H1NI virus in a selfish bid to gain "more attention" and said the Obama administration is recklessly overreacting:

BROWN: Here’s what I really think is going on. I think they want to raise this level because that gives them more attention, it gives them more, you know, more legitimacy, and allows them to get out there and say ‘oh look at us, we’re in control we've got this thing taken care of.’ It legitimizes what they’re doing. We shouldn’t be scaring the public. [...]

Neil, my theory always was after Katrina that the Bush administration and now the Obama administration will do it too. They will come out and they will do everything including the kitchen sink because they don’t want to get caught with their pants down. But what that does is, that’s the same as crying the sky is falling, chicken little. And next time people will be less inclined to believe it.

Host Neil Cavuto tried to rehabilitate Brownie's image by telling him that he was a "sacrificial lamb" for the Bush administration's Katrina failures. [...]

Despite Brown's attacks, the Obama administration has been praised by experts for its response to the flu outbreak. Officials have made rapid moves to dispel "unjustified fears about the flu virus," while "stressing the need for precautions, such as washing hands, covering sneezes and seeking medical attention for flu-like symptoms."

Brownie has officially crossed the nincompoop line. And Cavuto helped him right over.
