- E-mail excerpts:
- Aug. 29, 7:19 a.m., Cindy Taylor, FEMA deputy director of public affairs to Brown, about his shirt as he appeared on NBC's Today: "My eyes must certainly be deceiving me. You look fabulous - and I'm not talking the makeup."
Brown, 7:52 a.m.: "I got it at Nordsstroms ... Are you proud of me? Can I quit now? Can I go home?"
- Aug. 30, 10:52 p.m. Brown to assistant Tillie James: "Do you know of anyone who dog-sits?"
- Sept. 2, 8:37 a.m. Brown to acquaintance Betty Guhman, on his pre-Katrina plans to leave FEMA: "Last hurrah was supposed to have been Labor Day. I'm trapped now, please rescue me."
Amusing...

- From the page: "The newly released e-mails depict an official who "made few decisions and seemed out of touch," said Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-La.
Last month at a Senate hearing, Marty Bahamonde, the Federal Emergency Management Agency's only employee in New Orleans when Katrina struck Aug. 29, said he e-mailed Brown on Aug. 31, "Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical ... many will die." Brown replied, "Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?"
An e-mail offering critical medical equipment got no response for four days.
Brown resigned two weeks after Katrina hit. E-mail excerpts:"

Such a group of heartless folk has rarely been seen outside of the Gestapo.

- Glaring incompetence and irresponsibility from ex-FEMA chief. Read the last paragraph for some master spin-doctorism.From the page:"My eyes must certainly be deceiving me. You look fabulous -- and I'm not talking the makeup."..."Do you know of anyone who dog-sits?"...Andy Lester, Brown's lawyer, said the committee "ought to focus" on FEMA's budget and other issues and not on e-mails that he characterized as efforts to boost morale among stressed staff and deal with family matters.

- Allow me to summarize: Michael Brown is an incompetent, narcissistic piece of shit. And he's still on the FEMA payroll to this day! What kind of advice could this blithering moron possibly be giving to others in FEMA?... how to be pretty for the cameras?

WASHINGTON -- E-mails sent as Hurricane Katrina raged reveal that FEMA's then-director, Michael Brown, discussed his clothing and his need for a dog sitter but left unanswered urgent messages.
A House committee investigating the response to Katrina released about 1,000 e-mails as members complained that the Bush administration had failed to provide copies of communications among high-level officials, including White House chief of staff Andy Card and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
