FIMA's Marty Bahamonde: The master of the understatement!

I was reading Molly Ivans' column in today's The Tennessean and wanted to read a paragraph to some friends, that I was taking a break with. I could not do it. I laughed so hard I cried. My voice went high (??) It was just imposable to read that paragraph. I had to hand the paper to some one else to read it to the group.

It was not that I had never heard the quote from Marty Bahamonde of FIMA. But some how today it just struck me as so funny. (Really it is just appalling that it was true, and that Brownie is still on the FIMA payrole.)

Marty wrote his now famous email after receiving an email about Brownies difficulty getting a table in a restaurant.

This prompted Bahamonde to e-mail a co-worker, "I just ate an MRE (military rations) and crapped in the hallway of the Superdome along with 30,000 other close friends, so I understand her concern about busy restaurants."

The italics is mine, and that is what made me laugh till I cried.

Keep after them Molly!! Some one has to keep after FIMA. We all might need them some day.
