FORMER FEMA HEAD HIRED BY ... FEMA

Now we know why people use the expression "Christ on a crutch."

This is ridiculous. Mike Brown was forced out of FEMA because of his piss-poor performance (and lack of prior planning). And now he's a FEMA contractor?

From CBS, this tidbit:

CBS News correspondent Gloria Borger spoke with a spokesman for FEMA, Russ Knocke, who confirmed that Brown remains on the FEMA payroll. He also said that technically Brown remains at FEMA as a "contractor" and he is "transitioning out of his job." The reason he will remain at FEMA about a month after his resignation, said the spokesman, is that the agency wants to get the "proper download of his experience."

They get a download. We get an upshove.
