Can Michael Brown lower my opinion of Michael Brown ?

Sounds impossible but he rises to the challenge in this interview with the New York Times

But as the hurricane approached early on Sunday, Mr. Brown said he grew so frustrated with the failure of local authorities to make the evacuation mandatory that he asked Mr. Bush for help.

"Would you please call the mayor and tell him to ask people to evacuate?" Mr. Brown said he asked Mr. Bush in a phone call.

As everyone knows, Nagin "asked people to evacuate" (to put it mildly) Saturday the 27th). The remaining issue was whether he should use the word "mandatory" which was just a word, since New Orleans police obviously didn't have the resources to force people to leave.

According to Brown, Brown was unaware of these details and, thus, missinformed the President.

Now given that he is telling obvious lies, it is hard to understand why he is no longer working for the Bush administration.
