"Can I quit now" email from Bush's Michael Brown on day Katrina hit

     Thinkprogress reports that Bush's FEMA bozo Michael Brown complained that President Obama is working too quickly on Hurricane Sandy -- no shit!

BROWN: “One thing he’s [Obama] gonna be asked is, why did he jump on [the hurricane] so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly ....

     The Hill reports that Brown said President Obama acted "prematurely"

Michael D. Brown said Obama's Sunday press conference with Federal Emergency Management Agency officials was "premature" because the effect of the storm was not felt until a day later.

      The Hill goes on to quote Brown on why Obama should have refrained from being pro-active:

BROWN: "It's premature [when] the brunt of the storm won't happen until later this afternoon," Brown said Monday

    As a reminder, Katrina hit New Orleans around 8:00 AM August 29, 2005.  Bush's head of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, who Romney has hired, gave the Katrina job to his FEMA bozo Michael Brown who had plenty of time to send absurd emails.  

     I thought this would be a good time to look at some of those emails Brown sent as Katrina hit. Katrina.

By 8:00 AM CDT (1300 UTC), in New Orleans, water was seen rising on both sides of the Industrial Canal.

At approximately 8:14 AM CDT (1314 UTC),
the New Orleans office of the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for Orleans Parish and St Bernard Parish, citing a levee breach at the Industrial Canal.
The National Weather Service predicted 3 to 8 feet of water and advised people in the warning area to "move to higher ground immediately."

     President Bush appeared on Good Morning America, and said he understood the anger of Katrina victims, because they were still waiting for food, water, and other aid.

BUSH: "I fully understand people wanting things to have happened yesterday," Bush said. "I understand the anxiety of people on the ground. … So there is frustration. But I want people to know there's a lot of help coming."

    Bush said that his and the government's first priority is to save lives, and described the devastation that he saw while flying over the hardest-hit areas as,

BUSH: "very emotional,"

      Even though there were people trapped and dying in the Superdome with no food, medicine or water, Michael Brown had time to email this snide-ass remark.

RE: Still a Star !

Last hurrah was supposed to be Labor Day. I'm trapped now, please rescue me.

    O.k, I'll say it, Michael D. Brown was incompetent ass then and an ass-hole now.  Also, remember, the guy who hired Brown, Chertoff, now works for Mitt Romney.
