Many will agree with G.P. Luke (Taylor 'beats up' ex-FEMA director), Oct 5, and are equally appalled at the behavior by 4th District U.S. Rep. Gene Taylor during the recent House hearing, but not surprised.  
Michael Brown just happened to be in a "wounded, vulnerable and cornered" position which provided Taylor the opportunity to attack without consequence, berating and bashing his easy target in childish fashion that continued ad nauseam. 
In contrast, Mr Brown's calm demeanor reflected that he was totally aware that Taylor was simply in "campaign mode" and that the target could just as well have been his elderly Grandma Taylor.
