TIME.com: How Reliable Is Brown's Resume?

TIME.com: How Reliable Is Brown's Resume?: "Brown was an 'assistant to the city manager' from 1977 to 1980, not a manager himself, and had no authority over other employees. 'The assistant is more like an intern,' she told TIME."

Perhaps I've overly internalized the American narrative regarding meritocracy, but I have to say, when someone gets to run FEMA by lying on his resume, I think that there should be serious criminal prosecution. Of course, the fact that he got the job even with the fake resume is astounding.

Salon mentions:
"Brown spent the largest chunk of his career as commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, from 1991 to 2001."

As a complete aside, the Arabian Horse Association is working to "Help Horse Victims of Hurricane Katrina."

Fabulous.
