You Got a Heck of a Job There, Brownie

Michael Brown (left), the former FEMA head who was fired from supervising the Hurricane Katrina response and later resigned -- has already landed a new job.

Mr Brown was criticized for being unaware of people stranded at the New Orleans convention center for three days -- while network news shows repeatedly covered their plight. He has been criticized for letting FEMA hold up relief supplies and manpower for days. He's been criticized...well, for just about everything that went wrong in the Katrina response.

Now, Mr Brown's been hired as a consultant -- by FEMA.

To help find out what went wrong.

Kinda like appointing John Wilkes Booth as special investigator into the Lincoln assassination. (CNN)
