Shocker: Lee Brown fails in NOLA, too

by Matt Bramanti · 02/16/2007 3:53 pm

Houston’s former Mayor and Police Chief Lee Brown has been hired to help handle New Orleans’ growing crime problem.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says Brown’s company will evaluate the city’s police department and help establish community police policies.

Brown says that should take about six months.

Last night:

Nine people shot in less than seven hours

Six people were shot inside a Mid-City nightclub Friday morning just hours after a triple shooting in Bywater.

The clock is ticking, but Lee P isn’t too good under time constraints:

After leaving the mayor’s office in 2002, Brown spent a year as a “scholar in residence” at Rice University writing a textbook on community policing. It has yet to be published. Brown said he’s done with the research, now he just needs to finish writing.

And by “finish,” he means “start.”

You would think with all that time spent on an airplane traveling, he would have time to write a book. Gosh, how long will the name Lee. P. Brown be carried by those who think he’s of some value.

If this guy was white he would be writing a book titled “Would you like to supersize that sir?”

Will it have his picture on the front?

“It has yet to be published. Brown said he’s done with the research, now he just needs to finish writing.”

A long time ago, I once had that problem, too.

It’s so hard to pick which color crayon to use.

I bet you that hundreds of liberal elites will buy that stupid book, put it on their shelves, and the next time it is moved is when their kids come to clean out the place after they die.

But they’ll get a lot of credit though by showing all of their liberal friends who come over for pot parties that the book is on the shelf.

If Brown was smart, he’d realize he doesn’t have to write anything! No one will ever open the book! Just take a photo for the cover, charge $35 for the hardcover and go spend the money on trips to the Bahamas.

Actually, he was a pretty good Police Chief here in Houston. I’m sure somebody will crush me with crime stats, yet administratively he did well.

Um, what other metric should we use to measure a police chief’s effectiveness?
