Will Brown (head of FEMA) be fired by Bush?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Poll question: Will Brown (head of FEMA) be fired by Bush?

Despite everything, I think the chances are still no better than 50/50 on this.

Despite the guy's obvious lack of credentials and poor performance, they of course have every reason not to since it would be a concession that not everything was done by shrubco as well as it could have been, and they try like hell to NEVER make that kind of concession.

Still the guy has been exposed so badly I think they'd have a hard time avoiding it at this point.

1. Resign to spend more time with his family.

He'll say that this disaster has helped him to see what is really important and that is his family. blah blah blah

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. On the nosie!!

Firing him would be an admittance that they made a bad appointment. No, they'll make sure he resigns.

2. Yes. And that will be the end of the accountability.

Bush dodges another one.

3. The day he's fired, forced to resign, or resigns for "family reasons"

is the day monkeys will fly out of my ass.

4. I think yes; as another DU astutely pointed out,

it will be like throwing red meat to the lions, sparing the more tender pieces.

5. oops sorry wrong forum

meant for GD

[no name no slogan]

6. Doesn't really matter

The damage is done. There's no point in firing him now.

7. Incompetence is Rewarded in the Bush administration

My bet is next year this time he'll get a medal and a promotion.

8. Somebody has to take the fall for this

and it will be Brown. But Albaugh is the guiy who reccomended him. I don't like Albaugh. He told us in Davenport, IA that we should move out of a flood plain. Brown is his boy. Screw 'em both. Brown will be gone soon.

9. He's been squelched. He'll resign for "personal reasons".

Browne has been squelched and is not being shown or heard of lately. In a couple of weeks he will resign for personal reasons: to treat a carbuncle on his horse's ass.

10. Why?.........Brownie's doing a "heck-of-a-job"...

Why would he fire him?


Demand resignations! Now!
