Report: FEMA Head Fabricated Parts of Resume

More questions are being raised about the head of FEMA, Michael Brown. According to Time Magazine, Brown may have fabricated parts of his resume. Brown claimed that he worked in Edmond Oklahoma as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." In fact he was an administrative assistant to the city manager. One city official said he was essentially an intern. Brown also claimed that he was once the Director of Christian nursing facility in Oklahoma. But an administrator at the facility told Time that Brown was "not a person that anyone here is familiar with." In addition Brown claims on his resume that he won a prize for being "Outstanding Political Science Professor" at Central State University. But according to an official at the school, Brown "wasn't a professor here, he was only a student." Time reports these revelations raise new questions about how rigorously the White House vetted Brown before putting him in charge of FEMA. Most of his work experience prior to joining FEMA dealt with horses. He worked as the head of the International Arabian Horse Association for 11 years. He became the head of FEMA two years ago replacing his college friend, Joe Allbaugh.

FEMA HEAD REFUSES TO BE EVACUATED FROM OFFICE
‘You’ll Never Take Me Alive,’ Says Shotgun-wielding Brown A tense standoff continued in Washington, D.C. today as Federal Emergency Management Agency head Michael Brown refused to be evacuated from his office at FEMA headquarters.

The White House made the call to evacuate Mr. Brown from his office after it decided that his decision to remain there posed a threat to everyone in the Gulf region.

Agents from the Department of Homeland Security first approached Mr. Brown’s office over the weekend, urging him to evacuate and offering to help him empty out his desk and pack up his files.

“We offered to move him to another office far away from the FEMA building, where he could do no harm,” said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. “We told him that he would have a nice desk, a telephone and a secretary, and that he could spend all day rewriting his resume.”

The Homeland Security agents had hoped that the evacuation of the FEMA chief would proceed without incident, but instead of an agreeable team player, the Michael Brown they encountered was a shotgun-wielding madman who doggedly refused to budge.

“You bastards!” shrieked a visibly unhinged Mr. Brown. “You’ll never take me alive!”

As the standoff moved into its third day, Mr. Brown told reporters that he had enough food and water to remain in his office for another six months and that it was unfair to evacuate him after “only one major screw-up.”

“They would never do this to Rumsfeld,” he said.

Elsewhere, climatologists said today that President Bush’s approval rating is now below sea level and should remain there for at least three years.

Head of FEMA Sent Back to Washington

On Friday, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, was sent back to Washington. For now he remains the head of the agency but is no longer working on the hurricane relief effort. Brown has been widely criticized for FEMA's slow response to the hurricane. Questions have also arisen over how Brown came to head the agency since he had no previous experience working on natural disasters.
