Brownie flushed downie-- Bush in the dark

Just in-- FEMA head Michael "Heck of a Job" Brown has just resigned. This is after being reassigned to Washington late last week. That a few days after being told what a great job he was doing. Quite a turnaround. He won't be missed. But how about getting all the other W stooges out of the office and letting some professionals take over?

One more thought. Has this administration actually 'fired' anyone? I mean, I can appreciate the 'pride of Rome' sentiment of allowing a disgraced official the chance for suicide (then again, those emperors ordered a lot of suicides), but it all comes down to the usual see-no-evilism of this administration. Brownie, as he will hereafter be mockingly referred to by the American public, doesn't have to go through a messy congressional hearing, the administration can say something's been done to remedy a situation that was (in no way, of course) their fault. Everyone walks, no-one is penalized. These guys suck.

UPDATE: Yes, just minutes ago, Bush was taken completely by surprise when a reporter asked him about Brown's resignation. So for the millionth time, is Dubya just an incompetent boob, is he lying to further his ability to avoid the dreaded "blame game," or.... I can't think of any other options.
