Louisianna Homeland Security Kept Red Cross out of NO

Yeah, I saw a story on this this morning. I think TIME is coming out with a big piece on Brownie's lack of experience.

However, I'd be interested in seeing the resumes of past FEMA heads. Did they have extensive first response experience, or disaster relief work behind them? I mean, I can't say i even know what the director of FEMA's day-to-day might look like. Do you usually get these bureacratic patronage-types, or do you get former EMTs?

I ask, because during the Clinton admin., I believe a record number of disasters were declared. I don't recall there being any issues with how FEMA responded, who ran it during Clinton's time again???
