Hearing Confirms Michael Brown Was Unfit to Lead FEMA
The Boston Herald's editorial staff said in a September 28, 2005 editorial that, "Former FEMA Director Michael Brown forgot the first rule of holes you know, when you're in one, stop digging."
The paper added:
In one of the most whiny performances ever witnessed in Washington and that's saying something Brown went well beyond attempting to defend the performance of his agency, spending a considerable amount of time whining about his treatment in the media.After listening to some of Brown's testimony, I concluded that his personality is not suited to running an agency such as The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He is not authoritative and blames others for his faults. The debacle at the New Orleans Superdome and Morial Convention Center in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina exposed his weaknesses om plain view of the world..
Here's the Herald editorial.
