You Gots To Be Kidding Me!

After making a total mockery of what FEMA is supposed to be about and, clearly, failing the people of New Orleans and the entire Gulf Coast, this man is about to become a disaster consultant:

He learned his lessons, and now they're for sale.

Ousted FEMA director Michael Brown, who was vilified over his handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, plans to make a fresh start in Colorado, selling his expertise about how emergency planning can go right or so very wrong.

'You have to do it with candor. To do it otherwise gives you no credibility,' Brown said Wednesday. 'I think people are curious: 'My gosh, what was it like? The media just really beat you up. You made mistakes. I don't want to be in that situation. How do I avoid that?' '

In an interview with the Rocky Mountain News, Brown acknowledged key mistakes he made while overseeing the federal response to the hurricane that ravaged Louisiana and Mississippi. He also lashed out at the media and discussed plans to base his fledgling consulting business in the Boulder-Longmont area of Colorado, where he lived before joining the Bush Administration in 2001.

I really wish I had what it took to be that brazen and arrogant. When I am not good at something, I don't pretend that I am. If I'd contributed to the loss of life and the purveyor of unnecessary misery and chaos, I wouldn't want to show my face or hold my head high for a long time. Who on earth would call this moron for advice on what not to do? All they have to do is watch archived footage from CNN to see what NOT to do. I suppose I'll really scream if George Bush hires this guy and pays him with taxpayer dollars.
