Fool Me Once...Part 2

@ 07:28 PM (93 months, 5 days ago)

CBS News reports that Michael Brown has been re-hired by FEMA as a consultant, "to evaluate its response following Hurricane Katrina."

So let me see if I have this straight.  A man who couldn't even make it in the horse show business, and was fired for supervisory failures in the horse business, gets a plum job as the head of FEMA. This said man screws up ("big time," as Dick Cheney would say) during the worst natural disaster on U.S. soil.

He's forced out of his plum job, and is hired as a consultant to tell them how bad he screwed up when he was Chief.

As the old saying goes, only in America!
