BrownOut

Was it the power of the press? Or just hoist on his own petard of marginal competance? Brown? Gone.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being relieved of his command of the Bush administration's Hurricane Katrina onsite relief efforts, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Friday.
...
Brown has been under fire because of the administration's slow response to the magnitude of the hurricane. On Thursday, questions were raised about whether he padded his resume to exaggerate his previous emergency management background.
They're moving a Coastie Admiral into the spot; someone who no doubt will kick ass and take names and be able to work with the Federal Civilians, since once upon a time the Coasties were a "civilian" agency.

Looks like Damage Control to me. A desk by the window and a title for a salary. Bye, Bye, Brownie. You're doing a heck of a job warming that chair.

via Alternate Brain, thanks, guys! Best news I've had all week...

And Brown sulked that he and his preznit are still in this together, that the "press" scapegoated him but that the preznit has not. I guess that fearless leaders just think alike.

Yeah, but Ol' Mikey will have a target on his back for the rest of his life. Those six figures ain't worth a shit when a whole buncha folks want to put a bullet between your eyes.

Yeah, if ShrubCo *really* wanted Brownie gone, he would have had a "nanny problem", just like Bernie Kerick (sp?) did.

Now The Brown Stain on FEMA gets a few months reprieve while he gets a lucrative lobbying job set up.

So, does this mean that the "Left Blogosphere" gets to do endless masturbationary happy-dances as if they had just forced Dan Rather to retire by proving forgery with uncontestable knowledge of typewriter fonts?
