Mr. Brown goes to Nordies
CNN has a story on Mike Brown’s email exchanges during the Hurricane Katrina crisis (the emails are also available for your parsing pleasure). Before, during, and after the storm hit, Mr. Brown was a wee bit concerned with his wardrobe:
Melancon said that on August 26, just days before Katrina made
landfall, Brown e-mailed his press secretary, Sharon Worthy, about his
attire, asking: “Tie or not for tonight? Button-down blue shirt?”
A
few days later, Worthy advised Brown: “Please roll up the sleeves of
your shirt, all shirts. Even the president rolled his sleeves to just
below the elbow. In this [crisis] and on TV you just need to look more
hard-working.”
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?”
It has also been brought to my attention that Mr. Brown is working as a consultant for FEMA now; he’s being paid to explain to them what went wrong.
