Horses For Courses

This morning’s revelation was that the director of FEMA, Michael Brown (who yesterday didn’t even know that there were now tens of thousands of people at the Convention Center), was drummed out of his previous job as a lawyer for the International Arabian Horse Association for financially and legally running the organization into the ground. The correspondent reporting this doesn’t mince words:

I think I’ve told you that I’m into Arab horses. Well, for 3 years Michael Brown was hired and then fired by our IAHA, the International Arabian Horse Assoc. He was an unmitigated, total fucking disaster. I was shocked as hell when captain clueless put him in charge of FEMA a couple of years ago. He or the WH lied on the WH presser announcing him to FEMA. IAHA was never connected to the Olympic Comm, only the half Arab registry then and the governing body to the state and local Arabian horse clubs. He ruined IAHA financially so badly that we had to change the name and combine it with the Purebred registry.

Hmm, I can hear it now: “Sounds like he’d be great for the FEMA job, doesn’t he, Dick.”
