Well, at least he looked nice

"Yes. Mike Brown worked for me. He was my administrative assistant. He was a student at Central State University," recalls former city manager Bill Dashner. "Mike used to handle a lot of details. Every now and again I'd ask him to write me a speech. He was very loyal. He was always on time. He always had on a suit and a starched white shirt."

This from Time magazine, which reported that Brownie's resume is a pack of lies.

Now, an investigation by TIME has found discrepancies in his online legal profile and official bio, including a description of Brown released by the White House at the time of his nomination in 2001 to the job as deputy chief of FEMA.

Do applications for federal jobs still include the disclaimer "I understand that deliberately falsifying information is grounds for dismissal"?

This could be bad news for Brownie. It gives Bubble boy a convenient out at a time when he desperately needs to save face. Of course, firing the dumb bastard would require the other dumb bastard to explain his saying, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." But baseball GM's always say "I have complete faith in our manager" right before dropping the ax.

So this could cost Brown his job. Or earn him a Presidential Medal of Freedom. With this administration, it could go either way.
