The Confirmation Process is a Huge Joke

'An investigation by TIME has found discrepancies in his online legal profile and official bio, including a description of Brown released by the White House at the time of his nomination in 2001 to the job as deputy chief of FEMA."

Not only was he incompetent but it looks as if Michael Brown the fired director of FEMA was apparently a liar where it came to his qualifications and credentials. Bush Co are crooks who push their cronies, but our so called elected leaders have made the confirmation process a sham.

1. Inflated Resume and Cronyism

"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. "

Either Bush Co did a poor job vetting his appointments, or it was another case of rank cronyism bolstered by a confirmation process that is fundamentally a joke. :-(
