How can we deliver food? We're eating now. Michael Brown is a bad, bad bureaucrat:

Later, on Aug. 31, [FEMA regional director Marty] Bahamonde frantically e-mailed [then-FEMA director] Brown to tell him that thousands are [Katrina] evacuees were gathering in the streets with no food or water and that "estimates are many will die within hours."

"Sir, I know that you know the situation is past critical," Bahamonde wrote.

Less than three hours later, however, Brown's press secretary wrote colleagues to complain that the FEMA director needed more time to eat dinner at a Baton Rouge restaurant that evening. "He needs much more that (sic) 20 or 30 minutes," wrote Brown aide Sharon Worthy.

"We now have traffic to encounter to go to and from a location of his choise (sic), followed by wait service from the restaurant staff, eating, etc. Thank you."

The crony's name is "Brown" and the lackey's name is "Worthy." What is this, Dickens?
