More Mike Brown E-Mails from FEMA!

Fun for the whole family...this guy was in so far over his head. What a twit.

"Can I quit now? Can I come home?" former Federal Emergency Management Director Michael Brown wrote to Cindy Taylor, FEMA's deputy director of public affairs, the morning of the hurricane.

A few days later, Brown wrote to an acquaintance, "I'm trapped now, please rescue me."

"In the midst of the overwhelming damage caused by the hurricane and enormous problems faced by FEMA, Mr. Brown found time to exchange e-mails about superfluous topics," including "problems finding a dog-sitter," Melancon said.

Good to know his dog comes before folks who don't have food, water, or shelter. That's the sort of leadership I expect from the Bush Administration.

Melancon said that on August 26, just days before Katrina made landfall, Brown e-mailed his press secretary, Sharon Worthy, about his attire, asking: "Tie or not for tonight? Button-down blue shirt?"

A few days later, Worthy advised Brown: "Please roll up the sleeves of your shirt, all shirts. Even the president rolled his sleeves to just below the elbow. In this [crisis] and on TV you just need to look more hard-working."

On August 29, the day of the storm, Brown exchanged e-mails about his attire with Taylor, Melancon said. She told him, "You look fabulous," and Brown replied, "I got it at Nordstroms. ... Are you proud of me?"

An hour later, Brown added: "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god," according to the congressman

Yes, fashion is so important when visiting a disaster area. Take your cue from the president. Roll up your sleaves, but for God's sake don't actually do anything! Those unfortunate citizens might get your hands dirty!

And then, in response to a rather long plea for help explaining the unfolding medical disaster we get this gem:

Brown's entire response was: "Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?"

---

I wonder if the response was, "Yes, print and sign your resignation letter, that would be a good start."

I agree with you Red, Bush should be ashamed to have ever appointed this idiot.

This guy is such an idiot; Jon Stuart on the Daily Show gave him such a (well deserved) hard time the other day. I was laughing so hard I started coughing (I have a cold) and couldn’t stop. I randomly turned the channel just in time to see Stewie from the Family Guy push real hard to fart and he blew a blood vessel in his eye. Good lord, my ribs hurt so bad I felt like I was gunna die, all because of Mike Brown.

Anyway… Michael Brown = Idiot. ~D

And to be fair, the Senate (both parties) deserves lashes for not reviewing the appointment more than superficially. While many folks in both parties seek to make these a formality whenever they have a president in office, there are some protections for the nation inherent to having a proper review of appointees.
