I join the call of Andrew Sullivan, Jeff Jarvis, and others that FEMA director Michael Brown must be fired, immediately, for his mishandling of the Katrina disaster.
Now yes, everywhere I went this weekend people blamed the hurricane squarely on the shoulders of Bush, showing once again that people will always blame anything and everything on their political opponents- I saw Republicans do the same to the governor and mayor of Louisiana and New Orleans. I had never heard of Michael Brown until last week, but I can say based on his performance that he's gotta go. Especially since he only got his job 'cause a Bush crony was his college roommate.

Posted by: A at September 6, 2005 02:38 PMYeah, Brown (AND Chertoff) should be fired for gross imcompetence but ultimately Bush assigned these guys -THAT plus his obliviousness to the developing tragedy screams for accountability from the top on down. This kind of cavelier attitude toward governance is truly appalling. I don't let our Commander in Chief off the hook this time.
