Mike Brown (you remember him) once again lies out of his ***** |
Marty Bahamonde, "a FEMA public affairs official with 12 years of
experience in disaster areas," told a Senate panel last week that "for
reasons he still can't quite comprehend, most of his pleas for help
got little or no response" during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina,
according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

From the day before the hurricane hit, Bahamonde repeatedly tried to
warn FEMA headquarters of the growing problems at the Superdome.
On August 29, he spoke with Mike Brown by telephone and briefed him on
the situation - Brown thanked him and said he would contact the White
House.
And then, on August 31:
.... [Bahamonde] had e-mailed Brown from the Superdome to tell him that
thousands of evacuees were gathering in the streets outside the Ernest
N. Morial Convention Center without food or water and that there were
"estimates that many will die within hours."
"Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical," he wrote.
But less than three hours later, Brown's press secretary said in an
e-mail that "it is very important that time is allowed for Mr. Brown
to eat dinner" at a Baton Rouge restaurant that night before appearing
on an MSNBC talk show.
"We now have traffic to encounter ... followed by wait service from
the restaurant staff, eating, etc.," the e-mail said.
Strange then that on September 1, Brown appeared on Paula Zahn's CNN
show and said, "People who were unable or chose not to evacuate are
suddenly appearing. And so this catastrophic disaster continues to
grow. I will tell you this, though, every person in that convention
center, we just learned about that today ... Paula, the federal
government did not even know about the convention center people until
today."

I don't know about you, but where I live they call that "lying out of
your *****."
