“You’re doing a heck of a job Brownie” G.W. Bush

“I have directed Mike Brown to return to administering FEMA nationally,” Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told a news conference in Baton Rouge on Friday, where he was accompanied by Brown.

The new FEMA director Vice Admiral Thad W. Allen has cancelled the debit card program for hurricane refugees.

Did Micheal Brown lie on his resume?

    I heard someone say he was a former roommate of BUsh’s. Don’t know if that’s true or not.

    Ian, I stand corrected. Brown was named to the job by his college roommate, a former Bush campaign director. From http://www.ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=30210

    “What is clear is that Brown was named FEMA’s deputy director by his college roommate, then-FEMA director Joseph Allbaugh, who secured Brown’s elevation to the top spot after Allbaugh, a Bush campaign director in 2000, left government as U.S. troops invaded Iraq to create his own consulting firm for clients in the overseas disaster-relief business, including Halliburton Co., which, of course, was headed by Vice Pres. Dick Cheney in the 1990s and has received many billions of dollars in Iraq-related contracts.”
