Former FEMA chief Brown spent all day defending himself against an aggressive, almost entirely Republican Congressional panel grilling him on the failed response to Katrina. It looked a lot like a desparate effort to find a scapegoat. Brown has been helpful, accepting the role when he resigned shortly after the problems became apparent. Now it appears that either he is not willing to accept all the blame, or perhaps he believes there are additional problems. Oh really? How about the cronyism that led to an unqualified person being appointed in the first place?
Bush is looking tired. He's not used to these 8 hour days, day after day. After all, he hasn't had a vacation in about 3 weeks. First, he praised Brown, then gratefully accepted his resignation. Now he's musing about making the Pentagon the leader in domestic disaster relief. Some "solution"! After sending the state-controlled National Guard overseas, he wants to move the Army into the states. The Department of Defense is already responsible for the developing disaster in Iraq. Let's let them concentrate on that. Meanwhile, let's bring the National Guard, which has historically had a role in disaster relief, back home.
Heck of an idea, Bushie! Now show some character and resign.
