Steps in the Spotlight
Three days after being summoned away from the releif efforts, Brownie, the director of FEMA resigns. What a Coup.
If you've read my immediately previous post you know that I was amazing (and slightly terrified at how well the administration was able to bury and suppress this story, but Michael Brown himself has dug it right back up and dragged it into the spotlight. I can't even imagine what might have caused him to do such a thing. It was only a formality now that he was releived of his on-the-ground duties anyway, so why wait three days. This was certainly not a calculated move by the administration since they seem as flabergasted by it as anyone else. Is Brownie just so mad at Bush that he is trying to take someone down with him? Who knows. But I am glad this story is now going to get the media attention it merits.
