Brownie pimpin for a job giving advice on preparing for evacuations...
I swear, you just couldn't make this shit up....:rofl:

Disaster, Indeed

This just in from New York PR type Rita Larchar, who notes that 10,000 of the hundreds of thousands of people uprooted by California's wildfires "have taken shelter at the local NFL stadium," something "vaguely reminiscent of circumstances of Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years ago."

So who better to advise us than former FEMA director and Katrina veteran Michael "Heck of a Job, Brownie" Brown? "The agency has learned some hard lessons regarding the handling of mass evacuations," Larchar's e-mail quotes him as saying, "especially in regard to the bureaucratic red tape . . . involved."

Brown, Larchar says, "can offer advice to residents and businesses on proper relief and recovery efforts and advice for future disaster preparedness."

A great country, a truly great country.

1. I would think that's the last job on Earth that guy could get.
He should try his hand at something else.

Maybe go back to running a horse association, he didn't get as many people killed.

2. Proof yet again that the Onion can't make up anything as
absurd as Bushco is in reality.

3. In case of national disaster, always have spare pressed blue shirt on hand
