My Favorite Email exchange with FEMA

I don't know if everyone has heard or seen this, but I think it's fascinating to see the results of the croneyism of the Bush Administration. The fact that the American public hasn't strung these bastards up by their huevos already is a testament to the misdirected energies of the media and the apathy of the public. In the past, these were words that would have inspired revolution...
And what is it with the fucked up spelling of Browny's press secretary? Is she illiterate?

Excerpts from e-mails among Federal Emergency Management officials during Hurricane Katrina:

Marty Bahamonde, a FEMA official, to FEMA Director Michael Brown, Aug. 31, 11:20 a.m.

"Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical. Here [are] some things you might not know. Hotels are kicking people out, thousands gathering in the streets with no food or water. Hundreds still being rescued from homes. The dying patients at the DMAT tent being medivac[ed]. Estimates are many will die within hours. We are out of food and running out of water at the dome, plans in works to address the critical need."

Sharon Worthy, Mr. Brown's press secretary, to Cindy Taylor, FEMA deputy director of public affairs, and others, Aug. 31, 2 p.m.

"Also, it is very important that time is allowed for Mr. Brown to eat dinner. Gievn (sic) that Baton Rouge is back to normal, restaurants are getting busy. He needs much more that (sic) 20 or 30 minutes. We now have traffic to encounter to get to and from a location of his choise (sic), followed by wait service from the restaurant staff, eating, etc.

•Mr. Bahamonde to Ms. Taylor and Michael Widomski, public affairs, Aug. 31, 2:44 p.m.

"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! ... Just tell her that I just ate an MRE [meal ready to eat] and crapped in the hallway of the Superdome along with 30,000 other close friends so I understand her concern about busy restaurants."
