Two Words: In. Ept.
By While it is well-known that Michael Brown was a hack political appointee utterly lacking in relevant experience, I did not know that he does not even seem to have been able to do his irrelevant former job:
The federal official in charge of the bungled New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job overseeing horse shows.
And before joining the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a deputy director in 2001, GOP activist Mike Brown had no significant experience that would have qualified him for the position.
The Oklahoman got the job through an old college friend who at the time was heading up FEMA.
[…]Brown was forced out of the position after a spate of lawsuits over alleged supervision failures.
So Bush’s choice to head FEMA was a guy whose job overseeing horse shows ended in a hail of lawsuits? Did I just wake up in a Carl Hiassen novel? Not that you would know this from The New York Times or anything.
Anyway, DeLong is right: impeach Bush. Impeach him now.
