Brown Resigns!!! On MSNBC Now....

[Kevin Spidel]

meeting with bush and brown was suppose to happen this morning, did bush tell him take a hike?

[no name no slogan]

1. Did he jump or was he pushed?

Either way, I can't say I'm sad to see him go!

[Richardo]

4. He was already in freefall ...

...when you get right down to it, he jumped when he took the job.

[Imagevision]

28. Brownie is going to spend more time with his family...!

Bush blew it bigtime by not taking the bull by the horns and fire Brown on the spot,,, oh happy days...! Bush is so fucking stupid thinking he's got Rove and that's all that matters. chump!

[Cooley Hurd]

2. CNN also reporting this!!!

Resign, my ass - they told horse-show-boy to hit the bricks!!!!!

[Frustratedlady]

9. Would That Work For GW?

My Way or the Highway?

There it is, Georgie Porgie! Start walkin'!

[atreides1]

22. Of course they told him to leave

But, we must all look beyond this little ploy. By "resigning" he has allowed Bush to keep his "loyalty to those who work for him" myth intact.

So once again, like in the case of Colin Powell, Richard Clarke, and
Paul O'Neill, Bush didn't fire Brown, Brown quit of his "own accord". But BushCo can still say that Nero is "loyal" to those who work for him.

[phusion]

3. But wait

I thought "Brownie's doing a heck of a job?!"

[Kevin Spidel]

14. WE NEED VIDEO of BUSH SAYING "HECK OF A JOB"

Then footage juxtaposed with resignation footage from MSNBC!

[Blue_Roses]

17. ain't that the truth

:D

[H2O Man]

5. Gosh, no!

Mike wants to spend more time with his horses.

[Cooley Hurd]

26. The only friends he has left...

...everyone else wants to punch his face.;)

[Roland99]

6. I hear the Quarter Horse Association is looking for someone

[stevietheman]

7. Great news! (won't bring back those he negligently killed, however) n/t

n/t

[highplainsdem]

8. One down, many more to go...

[raysr]

10. It's great how

these pricks get people to fall on their sword for them.

[Blue_Roses]

11. my gosh

4 of us jumped on this all at the same time...

[highplainsdem]

13. That's okay -- happens a lot with breaking news.

[merbex]

12. As if this fixes things; Ashcroft on CNN says B* has energizes

people

Spin,spin spin

[Blue_Roses]

15. is this really news?

I know it's "breaking" and all, but didn't we see this one coming:shrug:

[demo dutch]

16. I knew it - Cheney goes to NOLA - Brown is gone! Cheney calls the shots!

[Roland99]

18. Well, * was there again yesterday.

[demo dutch]

21. True, I heared on NBC that Cheney had something to with it

[underpants]

30. Andrea Mitchell reported that this weekend

Frankly I have no problem with Dick really being in charge (we all already knew that didn't we?) he may be pure evil but he is capable of handling the job responsibilities.

[demo dutch]

31. Agree to certain extent, mind you Cheney is extremely dangerous

[alkaline9]

19. i guess NOW its time for the "blame game"...

... and I guess BushCo has his scape-goat in Brown. Does anyone else feel like this will take pressure off shrub from the general public? Could this all be an attempt to crucify Brown in the name of chimpy's ratings?

[Jeanette in FL]

20. Paul Begala is saying

That * would have gotten more out of this had he fired Brown, instead of graciously allowing him to resign.

[blonndee]

27. I agree. This makes * look even worse.

If he were a real leader, he wouldn't have appointed him in the first place. But we know that.

Now maybe this will help it stick: The guy who was doing such a "heck of a job" obviously wasn't, but instead of firing him, Brown resigns. Without * ever accepting any responsibility and refusing to play "the blame game."

This is bad for *.

[trackfan]

23. "Heckuva job, Brownie"

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. After that tear jerking email yesterday

Blaming the 24-hour media for allowing people to think for themselves, oh, wait, he said it kept people from thinking for themselves. :crazy:

I knew this was coming.

It's not enough, but it's a start. I'd rather they just admit bush chose an incompetent boob for the job, but this is a move in the right direction.

[enid602]

25. new job?

Should Brown get a replacement job with Haliburton, Bechtel or Blackwater? Ah, decisions, decisions!!!

[bryant69]

29. That's bad news. Maybe

I mean, glad to see that guy go, but this may be the fever theory of scandal response - get everything as hot as possible as quickly as possible so it burns itself out.

32. Wants to "spend more time with his family" no doubt. n/t

[demo dutch]

33. HERE'S THE NBC LINK

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9315184/

Oh.... What a nice guy! resigned because "in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president"

[TexanDem]

34. I'm really scared this will be extent of "accountability"!!!

PLEASE tell me I'm wrong!!

[Jeanette in FL]

35. I don't think so,

I think it will bring it even clearer to the American people how out of touch Bush was. "Brownie, you're doing a heck of job", congratulating him and patting him on the back. If Bush had publically fired him, he would have gotten much more out of it.

[Frustratedlady]

36. I wonder what Brownie

will put on his resume, as to accomplishments in his last position?!
