Should we Quarter him with Arabian Horses?

I find it utterly amazing the statements Michael Brown made to a House committee. He laid the blame for the slow response to Katrina on the local government. It is absurd to blame local officials for a slow response to this disaster since any local aid was blown away by the gigantic hurricane. Read below the wise words of the former FEMA director and former counsel for the International Arabian Horse Association.

"If I, Mike Brown, individual, could have done something to convince them that this was the big one and they needed to order a mandatory evacuation, I would have done it."

Dude, you were the head of FEMA you could have at least tried going on television and telling people how dangerous this hurricane was before it made landfall.

"I don't have a clue how many [people] were truly in the Superdome," Said Brown.

Brown was asked if he was still a federal employee to which he responded, "You know, I don't know."

Sadly he still is a federal employee.

"feeble," "clueless," "shocking" and "beyond belief." "I'm happy you left, because that kind of . . . look in the lights like a deer tells me that you weren't capable to do the job." Rep. Christopher Shays (R) Connecticut on Michael Brown's remarks.

Brown said the White House "was fully engaged . . . behind the scenes,"

"They had to be behind the scenes, because I think we didn't see anything out front." Chairman Thomas M. Davis III (R) Virginia.

All I have left to say is I have to agree with the Representative from Connecticut.
