Buh-Bye Now
Thanks to maggiesox for pointing this out: ABC News is reporting that FEMA director Mike Brown is about to be fired.
Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown, under criticism due to his management of Hurricane Katrina as well as reported discrepancies on his resume, is expected to be out as head of the agency very soon, informed sources have told ABC News.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is expected to announce that Brown will return to Washington, D.C., and Vice Admiral Thad W. Allen of the Coast Guard will be elevated to take over disaster relief efforts.
Brown was a longtime friend of Joseph Allbaugh, a former Bush campaign manager who directed FEMA from March 2001 to March 2003. Brown was the deputy chief of FEMA in 2001 and moved up when Allbaugh left.
Before becoming part of the agency, Brown was a top official of the Arabian Horse Association. The secretary of that association says it asked him to resign in 2001.
Hmmm. Well, I like the part about Brown getting the shaft, but I'm not so sure about the guy who's slated to take his place. Is he a good guy or just as unqualified? I guess we'll be finding out soon enough!
