The Blind Leading The Blind

Michael Brown, the disgraced former director of FEMA, has started a disaster-preparedness consulting firm! This kind of jaw-dropping insanity is a reflection of the mixture of incompetance and arrogance that characterizes the Bush administration.

"If I can help people focus on preparedness, how to be better prepared in their homes and better prepared in their businesses — because that goes straight to the bottom line — then I hope I can help the country in some way," Brown told the Rocky Mountain News for its Thursday editions.

Brown said officials need to "take inventory" of what's going on in a disaster to be able to answer questions to avoid appearing unaware of how serious a situation is.

If a company needs to hire Brown to do that, they don't have a prayer of succeeding.
