"A Louisiana congressman says e-mails written by the government's emergency response chief (Michael Brown) as Hurricane Katrina raged show a lack of concern for the unfolding tragedy and a failure in leadership."
"The e-mails Melancon posted, a sampling of more than 1,000 provided to the House committee now assessing responses to Katrina by all levels of government, also show Brown making flippant remarks about his responsibilities"
"Can I quit now? Can I come home?" Brown wrote to Cindy Taylor, FEMA's deputy director of public affairs, the morning of the hurricane.
A few days later, Brown wrote to an acquaintance, "I'm trapped now, please rescue me."
On August 29, the day of the storm, Brown exchanged e-mails about his attire with Taylor, Melancon said. She told him, "You look fabulous," and Brown replied, "I got it at Nordstroms. ... Are you proud of me?"
An hour later, Brown added: "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god," according to the congressman."

scans of the emails
E-mail can bounce back to hurt you
in the spirit of the new and improved politics forum I will now offer up a solution rather than just posting an argument
maybe instead of writing this:
"If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god,"
he should have written this:
"If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire, you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god, now let's get back to work and save those poor people"
thx Gunner for providing the story
