Just Call Him The Mousse Man

[journalist3072]

In Michael Brown's world, why worry about an unprecedented hurricane, and people literally drowning and dying, when you've got hair to worry about?

Newly released emails show that in the days preceeding and after Hurricane Katrina's landfall, then FEMA Director Michael Brown, and others in FEMA, were obssessed with media coverage.

Apparently Michael Brown didn't have enough work to occupy his day in the midst of the worst natural disaster to hit American soil. At one point early in the morning of August 29, he told an aide that he was "sitting in the chair, putting mousse in my hair," while waiting for the commencement of media interviews.

Thank you, Mr. International Arabian Horses Association, for being more concerned about your hair and your image while people were drowning and dying in a major American city. We are all in your eternal debt and gratitude.

He also disputed reports that Katrina's floodwaters had breached NOLA's leeves. Shortly before 10:00 on the morning of August 29, a FEMA staff at the National Hurricane Center sent department officials an alert from a local t.v. station reporting a levee breach along the industrial canal near NOLA's 9th Ward.

After 12 Noon that same day, Brown sent a message to an aide saying: "I'm being told here water over not a breach."

Two words will sum up this story: willful neglect.

1. We know Brown was/is inept. I'm waiting for some more

scathing evidence against dimson. He's the most culpable and hopefully some more info will be found to bear that out.
