While ex-FEMA director Michael Brown was busy doing "a heck of a job" botching the federal response to Hurricane Katrina, he was sending out emails to colleagues boasting about being a "fashion god," needing a dog sitter, and his desire to "quit" and "go home." The Smoking Gun has obtained copies of Brownie's idiotic correspondence. A few excerpts:

On the day of the storm, Brown exchanged emails about with a colleague who complimented his shirt by saying, "You look fabulous." Brown replied, "I got it at Nordstroms...Are you proud of me? Can I quit now? Can I go home?"

An hour later, Brown wrote about his government-issued wardrobe: "If you'll look at my lovely FEMA attire you'll really vomit. I am a fashion god."

The next day, after a FEMA official sent him an urgent email about people dying and the lack of food and water, Brown replied, "Thanks for the update. Anything specific I need to do or tweak?"

Later, with New Orleans submerged under water, Brown wrote to an assistant, "Do you know of anyone who dog-sits?"

A few days later, Brown wrote to an acquaintance, "I'm trapped now, please rescue me."
