Seems the rumors of Michael Brown’s parting with the Federal Emergency Management Agency were greatly exaggerated. Though Brown quit as FEMA director on Sept. 12, he is into his second month as a government contractor, and at the same $148,000 annual salary rate. “We don’t want to sacrifice that ability simply in order to make an image point,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Ability to do what? Fail spectacularly? Makes you wonder if “Scooter” Libby’s White House consulting contract is ready yet.
And Brown’s Aug. 29 e-mail trail, as recounted by The Washington Post, confirms that Brown’s focus was not on Katrina’s wrath. When a FEMA flack complimented Brown’s appearance, he replied: “I got it at Nordstroms. . . . Are you proud of me?” and later wrote, “If you look at my lovely FEMA attire you’ll really vomit. I am a fashion god.”

What did you expect? Brown is only giving out contracts to those who use equine power. lol
Brownie is the poster child for all the Bush appointments of incompetant political cronies to positions of high power. He is not the exception; he is the rule.
