Brownie Job Hunting

Ex-FEMA Administrator Michael Brown seems to be doing for his career what he did for the beleaguered agency. Less than a week after FEMA's dismal Hurricane Katrina response forced Brown out of the agency, he has been shopping his resume to headhunters and Washington PR firms. And it's not working. "He's radioactive," said one exec. An ally of Brownie in the PR world said he should have waited a month before starting his job hunt. "It's just a bad play."..(hat tip MPetrelis)

I'd say NOLA is pretty radioactive too.

1. He'll get a job somewhere. As they say: " Silence is golden".

[FloridaPat]

2. Has he applied to the Carlyle Group or Halliburton?

16. Ding ding ding. My thought as well. But he's not worth his weight in salt

[xray s]

3. Someone will send him to the Green Zone

lots of loot to loot over there

8. Even the Green Zone is no longer safe

You cannot safely walk around without your gear.

Last week, Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, the top U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, declared "great successes" against insurgents. But Baghdad's fortified Green Zone, where Lynch briefed reporters, was under stepped-up security screening and U.S. guard for fear of suicide bombings. Insurgents for three days running last week managed to lob mortar rounds into the Green Zone, the heart of the U.S. and Iraqi administration.

4. He should apply for a pizza delivery job.

Brown's Pizza Delivery Service.
"Delivery guaranteed in 5 days or more."

7. Great one, Gator!

I was thinking, he could always go back to the Arabian Horse Association, where he came from.

But then, he neglected some horses, so they died. Maybe not.

5. He should get the Tropicana Lemonade concession

in Hell.

[norml]

6. He should apply to go on Fear Factor. People would tune in to

watch him eat gross things.

9. I imagine a Mickie D's near him must be hiring. Or a Starbucks.

No dearth of opportunities, really.

10. Maybe he could get a job shoveling toxic sludge in NO or clean up in MS

Salary below the prevailing wage, so lets be generous and say $4.25/hr.

11. waitaminute

i thought he resigned to 'spend time with my family.' what the fuck. its not been more than 3 weeks since he resigned. if he only wanted to give 3 weeks to his family, he could have just taken a vacation like his asshole ex-boss.

12. Well, he wanted to vacation in New Orleans, but...

Well, Brownie wanted to vacation in New Orleans, but his travel agent
told him that due to the hurricane, there'd be some problems once he
and the family got down there.

"What Hurricane?" Brownie asked...

13. Join the Army,he HAD to support the War in Iraq working for Bush..

No waiting Brownie,they'll take you today.

[burythehatchet]

14. I've met dozens of "managers" in my career who deserve

nothing less than what brownie is experiencing. If you think republican governments are bad, check out republican corporations.

15. What About All Those Villages That Lost Their Idiots?

Per Mollie Ivins today, people were unhappy with him as far back as January for handing out goodies in Fla.
I have every confidence, however, that it wion't take long for someone to pick him up--I'm sure plenty of people "owe" him.
