"Brownie" Wins An Award!!
On this last day of 2005, we take time to reflect on what a miserable year it has been for Shrub and his minions. With his poll numbers under 50% and reaching new lows several times of the last twelve months, we can not help but just go WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOO!...
Sorry.
It seems only the self-deluded, the highly gullible, and mean-spirited die hards are all that remains in Shrub's retinue. With that in mind we do have to note, a victory of sorts for Shrub.

President Bush's "Brownie" Quote Wins Award
by Arthur Spiegelman
LOS ANGELES - Call it the wrong phrase at the wrong time but "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" was named on Thursday as U.S. President George W. Bush's most memorable phrase of 2005.
Former FEMA Chief Mike Brown and President Bush take questions in San Diego, November 4, 2003. Call it the wrong phrase at the wrong time but "Brownie, you're doing a heckuva job" was named on Thursday as Bush's most memorable phrase of 2005.
The ill-timed praise of a now disgraced agency head became a national punch line for countless jokes and pointed comments about the administration's handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster and added to the president's reputation for verbal gaffes and clumsy turns of phrase.
Paul JJ Payack, president of Global Language Monitor, a nonprofit group that monitors language use, says Bush's statement in support of the then-director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency may be remembered for years to come.
