FEMA's Michael Brown: "I am a fashion god"

I don't like having to kick a man when he's down and I realize other people made mistakes as well, but this guy is still being paid a salary at our expense to essentially continue doing what he did before:nothing.

Most of us had a pretty good idea that Michael Brown screwed up big time in response to Katrina. We kind of sensed that he was sitting on his hands doing nothing while chaos reigned across the Gulf Coast. Now that some of Brown's e-mails from that time period are beginning to surface, we see that it was just as bad as we thought, if not worse.

We now see that Brown was more concerned about looking good than actually getting off his butt and doing his job. We already knew that he had planned to leave his post on Labor Day, September 5th long before Katrina struck. Now we see that after the Katrina hit, Brown was just waiting for the whole thing to be done with so he could get out of there.

Here is a brief sampling of Brown's musings. Keep in mind that this is all going on while people are still dying and calling out for help:

"If you look at my lovely FEMA attire you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god."
"I got it at Nordstrom's. Email (FEMA spokeswoman Lee Anne) McBride and make sure she knows! Are you proud of me? Can I quit now? Can I go home?"
"Last hurrah was supposed to have been Labor Day. I'm trapped now, please rescue me."
"I should have done my announcement (to leave FEMA) a week early."
Yeah, Mike, there's a whole lot of people who wish you would have done that too.
