Michael Brown testifies

Michael Brown, the disgraced former head of FEMA, is testifying before a senate sub-committee and he keeps going off at Norm Coleman about how the Minnesota governor is “taking things out of context.” It truthfully would be a rather amusing exchange if it weren't so utterly sad; Mr. Coleman will read an e-mail Mr. Brown sent using phrases like “anything I need to tweak?” in response to mortality tolls, Mr. Brown will fire back about “context.”

Does this guy not realize how monumentally he messed up? And he sure seems disparate, “What more, Senator Coleman, do you want from me?” The senator fires back, “Strong leadership can overcome that and clearly that wasn't the case here.”

Seriously, this is boiling over – it was looking there for a few minutes like Mr. Brown might pull a Zell Miller and try challenging Mr. Coleman to a duel.
