Ex-FEMA Chief Wrote of His Image in E-Mails

Ex-FEMA Chief Wrote of His Image in E-Mails - Los Angeles Times

The e-mails show that Brown was discussing his image on television even as one of the first FEMA officials to arrive in New Orleans, Marty Bahamonde, was reporting a crisis situation of increasing chaos to FEMA officials.

I wonder how much of this is getting blown out of proportion? I know when my parents were seriously ill I still had to go on with life. So we often discussed which restaurant we needed to eat at etc. Is that wrong? I would see a problem if 80% of his e-mails were about these things, but if there are just a few in relation to 100, what’s the big deal? We are seeing how things are are changing with digital stakeholder relations. No one would question him if he had said to his wife “what should I wear today” but because it is “digital” format and we can retrieve it we can make a big deal out of it.
