Now this is interesting. He's done it again, in the most unbelievable circumstances; morphing into a 25-year emergency military veteran. I know of other examples of people who took advantage and lied to get something out of Katrina. I wonder what he got out of this.
On the drive down Louisiana's boot tip toward Barataria Bay, we share the car with Jay Cafasso, a 25-year veteran of global emergencies who's running Presbyterian Disaster Assistance efforts in southern Louisiana, and Reverend Lenet Guidry, a Baptist preacher from Napoleonville, Louisiana.Here's another (but the link is no longer good):

Security concerns all but shut down relief missions within a 25-mile radius of the president's entourage, said Jay Cafasso, who is overseeing logistics for the Thibodaux-based religious relief efforts, dubbed J2K.
This next one is priceless:
Area quintet bonds as La mission work progresses

The fifth man, Jay Cafasso, is overseeing the logstics of this religious-based relief effort, dubbed Y2K. The no-nonsense 53-year-old - a Catholic marine salvage/hazardous materials expert - was on a barge in the North Sea when he got a call to help Katrina victims. The operation is a joint undertaking between Catholic Community Services and Presbyterian churches affiliated with the Presbyterian Disaster Relief Agency.
Can't you just picture it? Joe Cafasso claiming "I was on a barge in the North Sea when I got the call..."
Gonzalez and Carney were left to finish the shelving job when Cafasso dispatched Riddle and Tyre to Grand Isle, a small town two hours south of Thibodaux that Katrina had pummeled. The men were asked to assess the area's particular needs before the team delivers supplies to the area later this week.
As all of this transpired, Thibodaux disaster relief program director, Ann Exline Starr, a Delaware lawyer who'd spent nine months in Baghdad in 2004 helping open the Iraq stock exchange and securities commission, telephone potential relief organizations to help with the operation.
Cafasso calls Starr the brainchild behind the Thibodaux program.
This is all just about too fantastic to believe, except that we know the chap has an overly active imagination and an even bigger ego. I just can't beat the feeling that the ligger had a scam running on this Katrina thing.
