Continued here...Excerpt... said:WASHINGTON - In the midst of the chaos that followed Hurricane Katrina, a Federal Emergency Management Agency official in New Orleans sent a dire e-mail to Director Michael Brown saying victims had no food and were dying.
No response came from Brown.
Instead, less than three hours later, an aide to Brown sent an e-mail saying her boss wanted to go on a television program that night — after needing at least an hour to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge, La., restaurant.

This is what we should expect when emergency responders end up being under the thumb of bean-counting beaurocrats. Further evidence why organizations like FEMA should not be run by political appointees...
