Melancon said that on August 26, just days before Katrina made landfall, Brown e-mailed his press secretary, Sharon Worthy, about his attire, asking: "Tie or not for tonight? Button down blue shirt?"
A few days later, Worthy advised Brown: "Please roll up the sleeves of your shirt all shirts. Even the President rolled his sleeves to just below the elbow. In this crisis and on TV you just need to look more hard-working."
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

Stephen Hadley, denied on Wednesday that he or his staff received fake documents in 2002 that showed

After consulting with a member of his staff "to refresh my memory," Hadley told reporters that the documents were first obtained by the State Department and then shared with the
CIA, and that he does not recall ever discussing the issue with Italian intelligence officials.
"I..... I think somebody must have slid them under the table at one of our meetings, so there's no way we can ever find out who was pushing them in Washington. Yea. We should just drop it."
