The [George W. Bush] administration hopes that Brownie's resignation will make us forget that, before managing national disasters, he was the commissioner of judges and stewards for the International Arabian Horse Association. Brownie's principal qualification appears to have been that he was an old college chum of Joe Allbaugh, Bush's chief of staff when he was governor and the campaign manager for the Bush-Cheney election effort in 2000. Allbaugh, who headed FEMA prior to [Michael Brown], shares an ideological contempt for government that marks the Bush administration. In congressional testimony, he once described FEMA as "an oversized entitlement program." Today, Allbaugh trades on his connections to lobby for federal contracts.

AUSTIN, Texas -- As those silver-tongued poets at the Pentagon put it, we are in a target-rich environment. One cannot -- honestly, one simply cannot -- pass up the Brownie memos. The e-mails sent to and from "Heckuva Job" Michael Brown, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency during and after Hurricane Katrina, are too absurd, too please-tell-me-they-made-this-up awful. As Katrina sent a 30-foot wall of water toward Mississippi, Brownie, steeped in disaster relief work at his former job with the International Arabian Horse Association, asked a top aide the burning question: "Tie or not for tonight? Button-down blue shirt?

During Katrina and its flooded aftermath, no one was in over his head more than Michael Brown. The outgoing head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency was ill-prepared for the job. A law school graduate who spent 10 years as a commissioner with the International Arabian Horse Association, he landed at FEMA as a political friend and fund-raiser to the Bush administration.
