“My eyes must certainly be deceiving me. You look fabulous - and I’m not talking the makeup!” - Cindy Taylor, FEMA deputy director of public affairs, to [FEMA Director Michael] Brown, commenting on Brown’s TV appearance on the morning of Aug. 29, when Katrina hit.

Brown’s response: “I got it at Nordstrom’s. Email (FEMA spokeswoman Lee Anne) McBride and make sure she knows! Are you proud of me? Can I quit now? Can I go home?”

This is from some of Michael Brown’s e-mail correspondence, obtained by Knight-Ridder. At first I thought this was a joke. [via Aaron]

  1. I just saw some of these highlights on CNN and, honestly, I was sick to my stomach. Absolutely unfuckingacceptable that he is STILL on FEMA’s payroll as a “consultant.” Fuck that, not with MY tax money, you don’t!

  2. I thought it was a joke at first too. Terrifying.
