Under fire for a slow response to Hurricane Katrina, Brown was pulled out of the Gulf Coast operations on Friday and recalled to Washington. President George W. Bush has been under pressure from Democrats to fire him.

Very funny McGee
when will Blanco resign?
An eternity after the world ends?
And how does this improve the plight of the flood victims?/
How many conservatives called for his head?
I saw Michelle Malkin, Bob Novak, Bill Kristol, I believe, definitely others I can't remember.
The negative stories were dribbling out - his resume was padded, he left his last job "involuntarily,"....There's no way he could ever be effective again(if he ever was) and he would have continued to be a big liability for Bush...
Isn't it a mistake to have a political appointee without relevant experience in a role like this? Put them on some commisssion, make them Ambassador to Grenada or Monaco, fine...But not at Homeland Security or FEMA, not after 9/11! That should have been clear. I hope Bush quietly moves out all the other political hacks from any job involving national security or life-and-death decisions...
Are you asking how the Brown resignation helps the situation????? (it doesn't) or How a Blanco resignation would pretty much help EVERYONE?
I think Rich Lowery
