The rot extends to the federal level, where much of the nationally televised incompetence and confusion in the gulf region can be traced to the disastrous patronage hire of Michael Brown as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Brown, utterly unqualified for the job, spent the last decade running a trade association of horse breeders.

Brown's sole qualification appears to be his friendship with Joe Allbaugh, who managed President Bush's 2000 campaign. After Bush won, Allbaugh was appointed FEMA director and brought Brown to the agency.

The administration later gave control of the agency to Brown - passing over countless thousands of emergency management professionals - when Allbaugh left FEMA to become a top lobbyist for Halliburton, the construction company. Halliburton, according to the Houston Chronicle, will be repairing Navy facilities in Mississippi and performing damage assessments in the New Orleans area under a preexisting federal contract.
