Question dealing with FEMA guy

[FreedomAngel82]

I was just thinking about this and I was wondering. Has anybody looked up any information on the guy who was head of FEMA and why Bush chose him? He was nothing more than an intern. To me it sounds like Bush was rewarding a friend or helping a friend who has helped him. Remember how Bush likes to promote those who have helped him in the past. So I was wondering if there was any other information about him. How and why him for the job of FEMA? Why someone with no experience in natural disasters?

1. Brownie was Allbaugh's college roommate.

Allbaugh was part of Bush's election team (I forget which part).

Bush ONLY does favors. That's why there are so many incompetent fools around him.

2. The first *five* FEMA appointees are bush cronies, IIRC.

Bushco strategy is to gut and render FEMA useless so they can funnel federal money to private companies or faith-based charities that can do a better job. /sarcasm

And since every bushco plan has a "silver lining"(for bushco,of course),
the bonuses include the militarization of affected areas;
property shifts from poor to rich;
traumatization and fear of rest of nation;
Democratic-voting people are spread out or dead;
and finally, by the agencies not doing their job, private citizens are having to take up the slack,
which results in less attention being paid to the other dastardly things this admin. is doing,
and also less money available from action-minded citizens to donate to campaigns, etc.
