Poor, Poor Pitiful Drownie

From the Rocky Mountain News:

Black-and-blue Brown
Disaster point man has been beat up by jobs, friends say


WASHINGTON - As criticism of him grew this week, Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Brown sent a candid e-mail to family and friends.

"I don't mind the negative press (well, actually, I do, but I try to ignore it) but it is really wearing out the family," Brown wrote. "No wonder people don't go into public service. This country is devouring itself, the 24-hour news cycle is numbing our ability to think for ourselves."

It's almost too obvious to point out that there a lot of families on the Gulf Coast who have been through a lot more than the 24-hour news cycle.

I wonder which one of his "family and friends" leaked this email to the media? Did they think they were doing Heckuva Job Brownie a favor?

Brown has been christened "Drownie" by blogtopia (yes! skippy invented that term!).
