A Cure?

REP. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS/(R) CONNECTICUT: I want to know how you coordinated the evacuation.

MICHAEL BROWN, FORMER FEMA DIRECTOR: By urging the governor and the mayor to order the mandatory evacuation.

SHAYS: And that's coordinating?

BROWN: What would you like for me to do, congressman?

SHAYS: Well, that's why I'm happy you left because that kind of, you know, look in the lights like a deer tells me that you weren't capable to do the job.

BROWN: I take great umbrage to that comment, congressman.

Bernice, our ubiquitous correspondent, was down in DC looking for "that fetching John Roberts." She gets him confused with John Kerry's running mate -- she has been known to say that all good looking white men look alike, so it doesn't really matter to her. She did, while down there, stop into the wrong committee hearing and heard the above exchange. Her response?

Well, now she figures that if "Brownie" is taking it, she wants the same medication for her arterial flow problem. She is feverishly searching for umbrage.
