In the ever growing “The Federal government is turning into the twilight zone” category, we now add this. Low and behold, Michael “Brownie” Brown, who resigned two weeks ago as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is still on the payroll as a “consultant.” So what can a man, whose expertise is in horses and not disaster response, consult on, exactly? The only thing we can think of is that everything Brown would recommend to FEMA, the agency would do the opposite, thus ensuring stellar performance.
Brown is testifying to the House Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate the Preparation and Response to Hurricane Katrina on Katrina response right now. We hope members of the panel will ask Brown what his current role is at the agency.
This has got to be the biggest jokes of the Administration. If the american public, if the victims of the hurricane let this Administration get away with this it is truly a discrace. There is no accountablity in this country.
