Rep. Pelosi Calls On Bush to Fire FEMA Head

HeadlineSep 08, 2005

In other news on Capitol Hill, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi assailed the head of FEMA, Michael Brown, who she described as having “absolutely no credentials.” Before joining FEMA Brown spent 11 years as the head of the International Arabian Horse Association. Pelosi said she recently saw President Bush and urged him to fire Brown.
