Great Job, Brownie
Gee, with THIS Crony of the Shrubberoo doing so well, we should all run right out and support his new "Nincompoop for Supreme Court" pick. After all, his people just do SO well at their jobs.
If Congress was really serious about dropping the hammer on the Federal Emergency Management Agency for its dismally inept response to Hurricane Katrina, it would patch one of Lake Pontchartrain's ruined levees with Michael Brown himself. An internal audit of FEMA's handling of the disaster has revealed that Brown was warned weeks before that the agency's computer systems were not up to the task of managing the logistics for such an crisis and could put personnel and citizens at risk. 'FEMA's systems do not support effective or efficient coordination of deployment operations because there is no sharing of information,' the audit found. 'Consequently, this created operational inefficiencies and hindered the delivery of essential disaster response and recovery services.' The report, released a day after Brown vehemently defended FEMA during a congressional hearing, shows that if FEMA was indeed 'fully engaged . . . behind the scenes,' it was probably engaged in trying to figure out what the heck was going on.
