Actually, in terms of what was actually his job, Brownie probably did do a good job. The problem was that Blanco and Nagin did piss-poor jobs, actually particularly Blanco, because there wasn't really a lot that Nagin could do once Blanco screwed the pooch.

The things that went wrong weren't really FEMA's responsibility. The one FEMA responsibility that didn't work out very well is that they negotiate contracts with providers for equipment, supplies, and services in the event to an emergency. The problem was that all the suppliers got knocked out too, and thus were not able to fulfill their contracts, so that all had to be done on the fly.

I didn’t have a problem with FEMA, but Lad sings in a different chorus.
