Well in the wake of the Times story that just came out...

Let the scrubbing happen

1. What was changed?

:shrug:

4. From the article link:

"The FindLaw profile for Brown was amended on Thursday to remove a reference to his tenure at the International Arabian Horse Association, which has become a contested point."


Now if only I could somehow magically remove that information from my brain, Brownie might have a chance. Oops. Still there. Sorry Brownie. Nice try though.

6. Ah

I'm sure he'd like that one to go away.

7. Here is the Google cache version

doesn anyone have time to compare the versions? I'm just leaving the house.

Never mind--this is the old version where he says he works making horse's asses bigger for money. He just switched to a different horses ass

Click on the "positions" button and it changes to DHS from "International Arabian Horse Harem Slave"

8. I don't know what used to be on the findlaw site

But I see nothing under the heading of Professional Associations and Memberships about Arabian horses.

I also understand that he has lied on his resume, giving himself an assistant city manager's position when in reality he was little more than an intern. He also tacked a couple of years onto that position, claiming he was employed longer than he was. Again, I don't know if this information used to be on the Findlaw site or not.

2. So now, Time is a LIAR!

It's good that they got the word out about it before the *cough* corrections *cough*.

3. He'll probably be made an unperson by next year

...Then his resume will disappear entirely.

[Spazito]

5. They removed the part about his Arabian Horse Association

which was there previously.

[high density]

9. Yeah but it still leaves the disputed "Outstanding Political Science Prof"

listing.

Google still has a cached version of the page. It looks like it was updated to reflect Brown's current employer. Previously it still listed him working at the International Arabian Horse Association Legal Dept.

10. Yes it says that, but If I recall last time I looked at it...

It had a lot more on there. So I am not sure, I can not find an achive.

11. New Republic reports on Brown's failed legal career

A miserable failure, just like Bush:

-snip-

Over at the New Republic, Paul Campos is filling in a few more details. As Campos explains, Brown got hired at FEMA because he was a longtime friend of Joe Allbaugh's, who got hired at FEMA because he was a longtime friend of George W. Bush's. But surely Brown had some serious qualifications for becoming FEMA's general counsel and eventually its director, right? He was an accomplished lawyer? A volunteer firefighter? He knew CPR?

Not exactly, Campos says.

Campos is a law professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and he has done some digging into Brown's so-called legal career. Here's what he's found: "When Brown left the four years ago, he was, among other things, a failed former lawyer -- a man with a 20-year-old degree from a semi-accredited law school who hadn't attempted to practice law in a serious way in nearly 15 years and who had just been forced out of his job in the wake of charges of impropriety. At this point in his life, returning to his long-abandoned legal career would have been very difficult in the competitive Colorado legal market. Yet, within months of leaving the IAHA, he was handed one of the top legal positions in the entire federal government: general counsel for a major federal agency. A year later, he was made its number-two official, and, a year after that, Bush appointed him director of FEMA."
