[From the Boston Herald] The federal official in charge of the bungled New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job overseeing horse shows.
And before joining the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a deputy director in 2001, GOP activist Mike Brown had no significant experience that would have qualified him for the position.
The Oklahoman got the job through an old college friend who at the time was heading up FEMA.
Here's the guy who should still have the job. At least the governor of Louisiana has had the good sense to bring him in:
Blanco Appoints Witt
Gov. Kathleen Blanco has appointed former FEMA Director James Lee Witt as a special adviser to help her manage the recovery and restoration efforts in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Witt was FEMA director under former President Clinton, serving in that position from 1993-2001.
