Mike Brown Just removed as Dir. of HKRE

[bluedawg12]

hurricane Katrina recovery efforts.

He is being kicked upstairs to some DC desk jockey work.

Just shows when the 5th estate and the people speak..there is power

[demo dutch]

1. Still in charge of the BIG PICTURE for FEMA.. Unbelievable

[Bumblebee]

4. Probably for a week or so until his family insists that he needs

to spend more time with them. Doing it all in one swoop would be accepting the blame, you see...

[Garbo 2004]

2. He's still director of FEMA, just not "hands on" (cough) re: katrina

recovery.

[bluedawg12]

3. Here's a link MSNBC

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

but this really is a demotion. He is being replaced where it now counts- with the survivors of Katrina.

[SnowGoose]

5. If he does "retire" or "resign to spend time w/ family"

I think it will hurt the administration's credibility (such as it is) even more. Because even a kool-aid drinker will know that he's really going because of the anger over the "heck of a job" he did.

If Bush gets rid of him without being upfront about that, everyone will see the difference between what Bush says and reality.

And even more people will begin to ask themselves, "if he's not being straight about this, what about all the other stuff he's said over the years?"

THAT is the one question BushCo CANNOT afford to have people asking.

6. Chertoff washes hands of turdie

further efforts effectively turned over to the Army and Navy, with Vice Adm. Allen and Gen. Honore in charge.

You know, when the sound of Arabian hoofs appear in the distance it's time for all turdies to get to work for Kellog Root and Brown as a lobbyist.

I bet Brown will join Joe Allbaugh at KRB

[bluedawg12]

7. And Joe Lieberman, who controlled the committee first vetting Brown,

"And Joe Lieberman, who controlled the committee first vetting Brown, gave the nominee high praise and pushed him through after less than an hour of questioning.

The wingers wanted this to be a bipartisan disaster. Good for Lieberman to oblige them."

13. CT. I BEG YOU

GET RID OF HOLY JOE - jesus I HATE HIM

[bluedawg12]

17. When Joe said that the constitution

guaranteed freedom of religion not freedom FROM religion I knew there was something wrong.

I'll worship or not as I please. thank you.

You know WICCAN is the fastest growing religion in the US?

8. Brown say's: anxious to go home and correct the lies..

He may be gone but he is still swinging- just heard on msnbc, no link yet.

Check out Talking points blog:

" Michael Brown's non-dismissal dismissal is a day late and a dollar short.... The responsibility for putting a nincompoop in charge of federal disaster relief doesn't rest with the nincompoop. It goes right to the top ---"

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/

The blogosphere will go wild with this for a while.

9. Kudos to Rep. Pellozi

for demanding a resignation for Mr.Brown.

Go Nancy.

Nancy! Nancy!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. He should be fired, not promoted. He is still unqualified to take

taxpayers' money to do a job he is unfit for.

[bluedawg12]

11. he'll limp out of D.C .soon

under cover of night.

Rep. Pellozi called for this and stood up for the American people.

Bravo.

[bluedawg12]

12. How wise was Blanco in hiring

James Lee Witt and not relying on turdie?

She may yet come out a big hero from this horror show -when the full truth is out.

[bluedawg12]

14. Is this is quick fix?

Or will they really fix fema and get it back to an independent agency and out from under homeland security?

[oasis]

15. "You're doing a good job Brownie". Let's hear that again.

[bluedawg12]

16. Turdie say's going home to hug wife and dog

poor dog.

[bluedawg12]

18. Honore says zero media access to recovery of dead. n/t
