snipet:

Two days after Katrina hit, Marty Bahamonde, one of the only FEMA employees in New Orleans, wrote to Brown that "the situation is past critical" and listed problems including many people near death and food and water running out at the Superdome.

Brown's entire response was: "Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?"

This is a repost.

haha I just read this and was gonna post it.

this justifies how inept the FEMA response was towards Katrina...while Brownie should have been barking orders and getting people movin he was getting a crash course on how to roll up his sleeves and look good on camera.
