Michael D. Brown was fired from his horse show job..Now he runs FEMA??

Brown pushed from last job: Horse group: FEMA chief had to be `asked to resign'

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.
------------------------------------------------------------
Besides having zero experience to run FEMA.....

The man was too inept to even run a horse and pony show.

And they put this man incharge of saving countless lives???

1. Brown was so embarrassing that RW CNNI shut him down mid-sentence
as he was blaming the poor for their own situation in not getting out, downplaying their right to complain about anything FEMA related. CNNI quickly changed the subject. It would have been funny if not so pathetic.

7. The final straw for the horse group is that they caught him...
with his head up a horse's ass.
