Brown tells another lie

[onenote]

Today's WashPost states that Mike Brown told the Associated Press that he was just an "assistant to the city manager" in Edmond OK and didn't know why FEMA described his title as "assistant city manager".

Well, here's why: That's how Brown described it on the official documents he submitted to the Senate for his confirmation hearing in 2002. Check page 18 of the following link (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_senate_hearings&docid=f:81311.pdf)

Brown signed a statement stating, under oath, that the information he provided was true. Now he's acknowledging that it wasn't.

3. Sad.

It's a shame that this administration promotes those who lie and steal. But that's what it comes down to.

4. WTH, what's one more?

And that is just a teeny lie, not like lying about the accreditation of your Law School or something else like that.

5. Hoisting Himself By His Own Petard

"In fact, according to Claudia Deakins, head of public relations for the city of Edmond, Brown was an "assistant to the city manager" from 1977 to 1980, not a manager himself, and had no authority over other employees. "The assistant is more like an intern," she told TIME. "
