DescriptionRep. Christopher Shays prides himself on being a government watchdog.

His subcommittee heard testimony 19 months ago that the Federal Management Emergency Administration was having problems. He is a senior member of a committee that was warned in 2003 about a lack of communication between FEMA and state and local governments during Hurricane Isabel. An inspector general earlier this year issued a similar warning.

Now his opponents are asking how Shays could profess shock and anger over FEMA incompetence in his questioning of ousted agency head Michael D. Brown Sept. 27.
