CNBC reporting Brownie being removed in role of Katrina FEMA coordinator

[flpoljunkie]

CNBC reporting Homeland Security press conference due soon. Sounds like he's not actually being fired with this description.

CNBC says it came off the AP wire.

1. They're FINGERPOINTING!!!

It's the BLAME GAME!!

They're FLIPFLOPPING on their statements that now's not the time to fingerpoint and play the blamegame!!

And they're FLIPFLOPPING on "doin'a heck of a job!"

I guess nobody could have FORSEEN that he was underqualified.

2. I can't believe they're playing the BLAME GAME

take it for the team Brownie. For your boss, for your President, for your God.

4. CNN's Bob Franken, Brownie will still be the head of FEMA! Yet another

example of the "grownups are in charge" accountability administration.

Wht total and utter bullsh*t!

The Vide Admiral who had taken over in New Orleans will be put it charge permanently of Kritina FEMA operations.

5. "Drownie" can't resign. That would be and admission of failure

That's something the Bush admin can/will never do

7. New meme: "Well, he wanted to retire anyway."

Just heard on MSNBC.

The thing about "removing him from Katrina" but keeping him in his position as director makes zero sense, because anybody they hire to take over is still UNDER his direction -- he's still the boss.

9. My exact thought. But there's a 1st time for everything

[Beetwasher]

6. So MY TAXES ARE STILL BEING USED TO PAY THIS USELESS TWIT!!!!!

Idiots.

8. Brownie replaced by Coast Guard Vice Admiral Allen who came in right away

after Katrina passed through New Orleans and began the search and rescue operations. Allen is the Chief of Staff of the Coast Guard.

10. Check this OUT!!!!!!!

From MSNBC:

Brown's biography on the FEMA Web site says he had once served as an "assistant city manager with emergency services oversight," and a White House news release in 2001 said Brown had worked for the city of Edmond, Okla., in the 1970s "overseeing the emergency-services division."

However, a city spokeswoman told the magazine Brown had actually worked as "an assistant to the city manager."

"The assistant is more like an intern," Claudia Deakins told the magazine. "Department heads did not report to him." Time posted the article on its Web site late on Thursday.

What a fucking fiasco! Umm, that is called out-an-out lying.

Another Bush cronie idiot friend bites the dust. :nuke:
