FEMA's Brown goes to work for Katrina contractors
If things don't work out in government, there's always the get-rich-quick promise of government contracting.
Al Kamen reports in the Washington Post that Michael Brown, former FEMA director who resigned in disgrace after the botched Katrina response, is now working the other side of the Katrina money racket:

Former FEMA director Michael D. Brown works for Michael D. Brown LLC, a change-your-address-book information notice said last week. Brown is going into the consulting business with offices here and in Boulder, Colo., the announcement said.Allbaugh, you'll remember, is the founder of the Shaw Group, which quickly secured $100 million for a FEMA housing contract, and represents companies like Halliburton that are seeking more FEMA money.
The office here is at 101 Constitution Ave. NW. Hmmm. That's the fancy new building that is also home to the tony Charlie Palmer restaurant. It says he's in Suite 525 East.
Sounds familiar. Oh, it's in the offices of the Allbaugh Co., run by former FEMA director and top Bush aide in Texas Joe M. Allbaugh , a college chum of Brown's who brought him to Washington. Same phone number, too.

Amazing. These guys know no shame. You would almost think Brownie has something on Allbaugh.

I'd be willing to agree. Remember they were both frat brothers, and who knows what kind of depraved beastly behavior they engaged in during their time together.
well, if the Generals can all do it--go to work for defense contractors or TV news programs--don't know why an unemployed civil servant like mr. brown shouldn't be able to cash in... At least he's not drawing unemployment -tongue in cheek
