More Republican disaster patronage

Today, the Seattle Times reported that the regional director of FEMA in the Northwest (being paid $138,000 a year for his work), John Pennington, is a former Washington state representative without disaster experience but with Republican credentials.  Apparently, the former Republican Congresswoman who headed Bush's 2000 campaign in Washington greased the way for Pennington to get the appointment soon after 9/11.

Here's a link to the article by Mike Carter and Susan Kelleher:

Now, have any of the rest of you, on your own or with the help of local reporters, been able to identify any other Republicans holding FEMA jobs as patronage positions?
