Reply #64: Greed and karma [View All]

[fortyfeetunder]

I speculate Mr. Brown, with his suspcious past, was eager to take on the political appointment of FEMA head, thinking probably after 9/11 he'd have to take on minor events. Being National FEMA director probably spelled $$$,$$$ and a better way of life for his family.

But as the waters rose over NOLA, he probably realized he was (pardon the pun) over his head in an situation he was not prepared for, nor had the experience of thinking under pressure...after all, how much pressure is there in judging horse shows? Did the NOLA folks not slip enough money under the table to bring FEMA action?

So karma comes back to bite at a greedy person. He should hope the remainder of the hurricane season is uneventful and there will be no terrorist event to speak of through the remainder of the current presidency.

Hope this is a lesson for Mr. Brown...your relationship with the White House got you in this mess. You can't blame any of us for wanting more, or wanting more than you can professionally handle!
