When President Bush nominated Michael Brown to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 2003, Brown's boss at the time, Joe Allbaugh, declared, "the President couldn't have chosen a better man to help...prepare and protect the nation." But how well was he prepared for the job? Since Hurricane Katrina, the FEMA director has come under heavy criticism for his performance and scrutiny of his background. Now, 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. (Brown became Director of FEMA, succeeding Allbaugh, in 2003.)

Before joining FEMA, his only previous stint in emergency management, according to his bio posted on FEMA's website, was "serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." The White House press release from 2001 stated that Brown worked for the city of Edmond, Okla., from 1975 to 1978 "overseeing the emergency services division." 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. "Department heads did not report to him." Brown did do a good job at his humble position, however, according to his boss. "Yes. Mike Brown worked for me. He was my administrative assistant. He was a student at Central State University," recalls former city manager Bill Dashner. "Mike used to handle a lot of details. Every now and again I'd ask him to write me a speech. He was very loyal. He was always on time. He always had on a suit and a starched white shirt."

4. It originated in Time mag, broke on CNN; WP has an article --

I'm hoping for more coverage. The man, it seems to me, must be fired.

6. Fire him after he twists slowly in the wind for a bit

It takes awhile for these things to resonate. A few more days of righteous indignation, and then he will likely resign "to spend more time with his family" or his horsies...

From the administration's viewpoint, the guy will HAVE to resign rather than be fired, because the monkey does not like being wrong. He can't go from "Heckuvajob" to "Yer Fired" on the turn of a dime, now, can he? Makes the monkey look...oh, what's the word...incompetent? Obtuse? DUMB??? The strutting strummer doesn't like to be portrayed in that fashion!!

However it shakes out, the monkey was smeared with feces on this one--and all people will remember is that he made a BAD decision and because of it, people died. He put Party Fundraising ahead of the real needs of the people.

Who feels safer after New Orleans? They had TIME to anticipate that one--if a terror attack or a bunch of super tornados, or heaven forbid, another super hurricane arrives (and there's Ophelia brewing off of FL already, and we've months to go in hurricane season) will our government be able to handle the job??? Signs point distressingly to NO!!!
