Brownie Ignored Pleas For Help
BECAUSE HE WAS AN INCOMPETANT CRONY WHO ACCEPTED THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH AN IMPORTANT JOB AND FUCKED IT UP LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS.
And the guy who should have yanked him out of that position and made sure things got taken care of? Yeah, that would be Bush. But we all know he's just as big a boob as Brownie is, so those poor people in New Orleans were just fucked either way.
Jackass.

FEMA official in New Orleans blasts agency's response
Regional director said top officials ignored his pleas for help
In the midst of the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina, a Federal Emergency Management Agency official in New Orleans sent a dire e-mail to Director Michael Brown saying victims had no food and were dying.
No response came from Brown.
Instead, less than three hours later, an aide to Brown sent an e-mail saying her boss wanted to go on a television program that night -- after needing at least an hour to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, restaurant.
Jackass.

1.He lied under oath!!!!
2.He's still on the payroll!!!
3.And, he had the nerve to call my people dysfunctional.
I wonder who is going to have the nerve to defend him and continue to blame the people for this. He needs to be tried for multiple cases of manslaughter. Lives could have been saved if the people and resources had been in place in a timely manner following the storm.
I agree, Lily (well, except for the "my people" part, cuz I'm so white I'm almost transparent ;p).
I really think that people need to be held responsible. Yes, it was a storm, and people died, but that does not excuse the deaths that occurred by their incompetance. People DIED.
And I am so sick of this administration and it's cronies getting away with murder.
I'm laughing!! I meant when he said the local and state officials were dysfunctional.
Ah, gotcha! That's what I get for reading comments too fast before finishing my coffee! ;)

Saw this on CNN yesterday. I loved the response to the restaurant thing, "Well, I just ate an MRE and pissed in a hallway with 30,000 of my closest friends...so I can understand needing to get a table in Baton Rouge."
If it wasn't so damn sick, it would be funny.
I particularly like this guy for a number of reasons: 1) he was THE FEMA front line (only one). 2) he has the balls to tell it like it was, and 3) he's got no political axe to grind.
I liked that he said it was a "systematic failure at all levels of government."
Brown testified to Congress that the emails in question were 'routine' and did not contain signifigant information.
I do believe lying to Congress is a prosecutable offence.
So this asshole not only swills down a shrimp scallopine and a few chardonays while Americans died, he has the balls to lie to congress about it.
In japan, the samaurais had an honor system called bushido. It is still followed by many. When an individual brings dishonor on his family, he cleanses it by commiting hara-kiri.
Perhaps Mr Brown should follow suit.
hara-kiri (här'ə-kēr'ē, hăr'ə–) [Jap.,=belly-cutting], the traditional Japanese form of honorable suicide, also known by its Chinese equivalent, seppuku. It was practiced by the Japanese feudal warrior class in order to avoid falling into enemy hands. Around 1500, it became a privileged alternative to execution, granted to daimyo and samurai guilty of disloyalty to the emperor. The condemned man received a jeweled dagger from the emperor. He selected as his second a faithful friend, received official witnesses, and plunged the dagger into the left side of his abdomen, drew it across to the right, and made a slight cut upward; his second then beheaded him with one stroke of a sword, and the dagger was returned to the emperor. Around 1700, it became permissible to go through a semblance of disembowelment prior to beheading. Voluntary hara-kiri was resorted to after a private misfortune, out of loyalty to a dead master, or to protest the conduct of a living superior.
Obligatory hara-kiri was abolished in 1868, but its voluntary form has persisted. It was performed by 40 military men in 1895 as a protest against the return of conquered territory, the Liaotung peninsula, to China; by General Nogi on the death of Emperor Meiji in 1912; and by numerous soldiers as an alternative to surrender in World War II. Hara-kiri was much discussed in recent years in connection with the death, in 1970, of Mishima, the well-known novelist and rightist political leader.
See bushido, kamikaze, suicide.
