FEMA Cronies

[SirMoby]

I'm reading the FEMA web site and trying to figure out WTF is going on. I read about the Michael D. Brown the Under Secretary in charge of FEMA.

"Prior to joining FEMA, Mr. Brown practiced law in Colorado and Oklahoma, where he served as a bar examiner on ethics and professional responsibility for the Oklahoma Supreme Court and as a hearing examiner for the Colorado Supreme Court. He had been appointed as a special prosecutor in police disciplinary matters. While attending law school he was appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee of the Oklahoma Legislature as the Finance Committee Staff Director, where he oversaw state fiscal issues. His background in state and local government also includes serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight and as a city councilman."

He spent his entire career as a legal bean counter and probably helped Dubya get elected. He gets appointed to a high paying position while not having a fucking clue. This explains a lot.
