Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

There really are no words for this sort of thing. I can think of a few involuntary intestinal functions that might be fitting however. Link.

“In the midst of the overwhelming damage caused by the hurricane and enormous problems faced by FEMA, Mr. Brown found time to exchange e-mails about superfluous topics,” including “problems finding a dog-sitter,” according to Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Louisiana, who posted the e-mails on his Web site. (Copies of e-mails — PDF)

Some of the e-mails from Brown indicate he may have been overwhelmed by his responsibilities, Melancon said.

In an e-mail he sent the morning of the hurricane to Cindy Taylor, FEMA’s deputy director of public affairs, Brown wrote, “Can I quit now? Can I come home?” A few days later, Brown wrote to an acquaintance, “I’m trapped now, please rescue me.”

…

Melancon said that on August 26, just days before Katrina made landfall, Brown e-mailed his press secretary, Sharon Worthy, about his attire, asking: “Tie or not for tonight? Button down blue shirt?”

A few days later, Worthy advised Brown: “Please roll up the sleeves of your shirt all shirts. Even the President rolled his sleeves to just below the elbow. In this [crisis] and on TV you just need to look more hard-working.”

The “rescue me” bit is just heart warming isn’t it? Just think, nearly every government agency, from the critical to the pointless, has an unqualified Bush appointed hack like Brown presiding over it. Be sure to roll up your sleaves and have a look at the PDF as well.
