FEMA Chief Relieved of Katrina Duties
Michael Brown removed from managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts
Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being removed from his role in managing the Bush administration’s Hurricane Katrina relief efforts and is returning to Washington.
Brown, who has been under fire for the federal government’s slow response to the storm that devastated much of the Gulf Coast region, will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts.
Asked if he was being made a scapegoat for a federal relief effort that has drawn widespread and sharp criticism, Brown told The Associated Press after a long pause: “By the press, yes. By the president, No.”
I wonder if this action will in any way satisfy the concerns expressed in David Anderson’s post. I’ll bet my own case of apples that Brown’s removal will not merely “not satisfy” David and the Lefties, but will somehow be described as “worse than ever,” as some new, even stronger evidence of Bush’s criminality and incompetence.
Anyone hear about the baby in Manhattan getting stabbed in her stroller? … That goddam Bush.
