    "Rosanne Vervaecke, a company official, said Mr. Brown had been hired to speak on behalf of the company about disaster preparedness."

    After Mr. Brown gets off the stage, a company employee gets up and says, "And that's exactly why we're not going to do THAT..."

    he was a scapegoat. yes, he had an abrasive personality and was the sort of person who should never open his mouth; but, given the system he had to work with, only a pure genius could have done even marginally better. All of his criticisms of the system and his superiors were valid. they are the ones who should have been slaughtered.

    When I am old and too feebleminded for my career in Restroom Hygiene, I, too, will consult.

    eeb: He was the Fall Guy for sure, it was a no win situation, but honestly, would you hire him? I can't believe someone gave him a law degree - he strikes me as a complete idiot.

    i don't know. during the congressional hearings, when various congressmen (notably, ones who supported bush and the restructuring of fema, folding it into the department of homeland security, as well as less federal accountability for such matters - putting those responsibilities on local municipalities, etc.) tried to strap him to the stone and pulled out the ceremonial blades, he actually did impress me with his answers. he looked about a thousand times better than he did during the katrina disaster. remember, he continually told the federal government to send aid immediately, never stopped pleading to get the aid in. it was the feds who failed by getting embroiled in a mexican piss-off with bianco. the records indicate he was telling the truth. if I was in the market for looking for a consultant who knew exactly what was wrong with FEMA. He might just be the first person I would look towards.

    you can’t blame a general for loosing a battle if the field marshals equipped him with sling shots and twigs to fight a panzer division.

    If Michael Brown can help me get a $136,000/yr gumit job with full benies for which I had no experience except Arabian racehorse management, I'd gladly pay him. He knows something I don't.
