Hurricane!

Was Michael D. Brown the best appointment for head of FEMA?

Last year, Brown also faced heat when it was discovered FEMA paid out $31 million in aid in Miami-Dade County after Hurricane Frances, though the storm hit 100 miles to the north and the county never felt sustained winds of hurricane strength.

President Bush on Friday was quick to defend Brown, saying he thought Brown was “doing a heck of a job.”
