Michael Brown, the thoroughly and disgustingly incompetent FEMA director/lying sack of shit who resigned two weeks after Hurricane Katrina, when thousands had suffered and some even DIED due to his utter failure to do his job, is still receiving his six-figure salary.
According to CNN.com:
"Brown is still on the federal payroll at his $148,000 annual salary. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, saying Brown's expertise was needed as he investigated what went wrong, agreed to a 30-day extension when Brown resigned. Chertoff renewed that extension in mid-October." (emphasis mine)
Yes, let's continue using taxpayers' money to pay an exorbitant salary to a man who, instead of doing his fucking job and working to secure and assist Gulf Coast residents in desperate need, found time to write the following to FEMA's deputy director of public affairs on the morning of the hurricane:
"Can I quit now? Can I come home?"
This from the man whose hand our deaf, dumb and painfully blind president shook as he praised the useless prick for "doing a heck of a job."
The man responsible for widespread suffering and death quietly resigns, keeping his six-figure salary. And President Clinton was impeached for lying about a blowjob. Unfuckingbelievable.
P.S. Happy Friday, everyone! Let's see what other vomitatious truths are uncovered while we sadly deceived Americans enjoy our crisp November weekend. Can't wait! ;)
