FEMA Official Says Boss Ignored Warnings
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 05:22 PM by DiverDave
Snip

Later, on Aug. 31, Bahamonde frantically e-mailed Brown to tell him that thousands are evacuees were gathering in the streets with no food or water and that "estimates are many will die within hours."


"Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical," Bahamonde wrote.


Less than three hours later, however, Brown's press secretary wrote colleagues to complain that the FEMA director needed more time to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge restaurant that evening. "He needs much more that (sic) 20 or 30 minutes," wrote Brown aide Sharon Worthy.


"We now have traffic to encounter to go to and from a location of his choise (sic), followed by wait service from the restaurant staff, eating, etc. Thank you."

Ms. Worthy's contact info:

My email to her:

"We now have traffic to encounter to go to and from a location of his choise (sic), followed by wait service from the restaurant staff, eating, etc. Thank you."



Did you say this?

I will be contacting my representative's in Washington and informing them that if they don't FIRE YOUR SORRY BEHIND, I will do everything in my power to get them new jobs, come the next election.

DESPICABLE, and VILE, is what you are.

I remain, in utter contempt,

Dave XXX

New Castle, DE.

I think she needs MORE of the same.

Edit to add story and fix contact name.

4. Good god, the press secretary can't even SPELL.
Well, there's a tell tale sign of the problem right there. When your press secretary can't even spell words like "choiCe"....geez. The last sentence is a nightmare.

Just, :eyes:

When will the Bushies be gone? I would love to have competent people back.
