WASHINGTON - Top U.S. disaster official Michael Brown, under fire over the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, cited prior emergency-management experience in an official biography but his duties were “more like an intern,” Time magazine reported.

This, btw, is the tip of the iceberg. The disaster of who is working at high levels in FEMA and why is utterly horrifying. MSNBC has broader coverage of it all, as does CNN, that you should check out.

I'm hoping, and it's wishful thinking I know, this one can qualify as an impeachable offense.

Which part? Hiring your friends for positions of authority they are completely unqualified for?

Yeah, which I realize happens all the time. But people don't usually die because of it. I know the president is protected by lawsuits because of his office, but man, I hope people go after this fucker.

I think there's a big difference in having narrowed your qualified candidate list down to two or three and tending to go with someone you know personally, versus just cherry picking random jobs out of hats for your pals. The latter seems like it happens a lot in this administration.
