"The federal official in charge of the bungled New Orleans rescue was fired from his last private-sector job overseeing horse shows," the Boston Herald reports. "And before joining the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a deputy director in 2001, GOP activist Mike Brown had no significant experience that would have qualified him for the position."
His past experience? Before joining the Bush administration, Brown "spent 11 years as the commissioner of judges and stewards for the International Arabian Horse Association, a breeders' and horse-show organization based in Colorado."

Now we know why this operation was handled so poorly.
