The Fate of Michael Brown
First, let me give you Option B:

Mr. Brown, a childish and petty man, takes his inevitable exile as a personal insult. As a man who is incapable of seeing no fault within himself (just as with his "superiors,") he becomes the first of a long line of others who exposes Bush corruption in retaliation for his "being let go."

However, by judging what I have seen of Michael Brown, I have a suspicion that he won't be testifying before Congress.

Can you guess what I think he is going to do?

I truly hope that my opinion is wrong on this and Option B is what happens; but I can't escape coming to this prediction based on my own personal experiences with narcissists.

1. I think you are right
I think he "knows what's best." As they say.

2. Option A
Mr. Brown, a selfish and greedy worshipper of money like most modern Republicans, will be found a nice cushy job as a lobbyist, ambassador, or other such position to keep his mouth shut. And he'll be more than happy to comply.

3. If he had any sense of shame, he'd eat a bullet.
There's a great article in the most recent "The New Republic" that attempts to answer the question of what Brown might actually be qualified to do for a living. His FEMA bio was an outright lie. Not only was his law degree a joke; he also never really practiced law. This is a man who bounced around haplessly from career to career and was too embarrassed to even disclose the one job he held for any length of time -- the horsey job. He is the very embodiment of the hapless, skill-less crony. In other words, a Bush-man to the manor born.

8. He was the right man for the job. So was Chertoff, so was Allbrough
Your problem is you don't understand what the job was. Prior to Katrina FEMA was simply a big federal agency that handed out checks to "disaster victims". The agency, under BUSH, has a track record of handing out checks to "victims" who happened to also be Bush supporters.

Who better to decide whom to give checks to than a bunch of Bush campaign managers, contributors and coordinators? They did not get their jobs out of patronage, they got their jobs so they could hand out patronage.

FEMA: Federal Election Management Agency.
