>> If you take a look at his bio before his stellar work as FEMA administrator, you'll find that he was a lawyer for that horse trading association. <<
BTW, I looked that up, and he was not a lawyer, but the 'chief rules enforcer' for the Arabian Horse association. I read he was no-nonsense.
And that appears to be what he has been doing at FEMA. Writing more bureaucratic rules, and then when disaster strikes, arguing about the rules with everyone in sight instead of rendering disaster aid.
So is that why the FEMA Twinkies-on-scene turned back a flotilla of 500 Gulf boaters who were trailering their vessels to NO to do rescues?
