Former FEMA Director Mike Brown is still receiving tax-payer dollars as a consultant for FEMA, according to the LA Times. Brown is working from home "pulling all the documentation together" for the investigations into Katrina response, and his original 30-day contract was recently extended for another 30 days.

This guy is a genius. Not only was he able to initially land a job that he was completely unqualified for, but after he completely drops the ball on one of the most important natural disaster recovery efforts in recent memory, he is still getting paid to find out what went wrong. This is like letting Ken Lay investigate the Enron scandal or assigning Karl Rove to find out who leaked Valerie Plame's identity. He is being paid to investigate his own incompetence.
