Brown Resigns and the Bush Admin is on its heels... |
|
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 02:36 PM by jsamuel
While some may say that this will take heat off of Bush, it will have the opposite effect. This is because the President that never admits he is wrong just had a person he appointed resign for failure to protect the American people.
The emperor has no clothes.
One more major push and we might see his power fall to the ground.

8. This Is Just The Start...Investigate, Investigate, Investigate... |
|
There's a lot of questions about the departed Mr. Pony. How did he get into such a powerful position with no experience? Did he committ perjury in his resume or in his testiony for confirmation? What really went on during those 5 days of inaction at FEMA? Who else is on that agency's payroll who has no right to be in such a critical agency other than being a party hack.
This scandal...and, yes it's a scandal, can open the door to the large kleptocracy and destruction going on with our federal government. If you think Brownie is the lone hack, think again. This calls for a far closer look at this regime's hiring and promoting practices. We need to know who has access to our tax money and how they got that access.
I expect the netroots won't let this story die...only the corporate media will allow this whitewash to happen...and if we don't demand a full, independent investigation, that's what going to happen.
This isn't about blame...this is about accountability!

9. Brown is a symptom of a failed vision of government, a failing government. |
|
These people have subverted the Constitution and its' vision of government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
And if any lurking freeper types think that is just oh, so quaint, think again. Folks are beginning to be very angry and disgusted with these idiots and their disastrous and pathetic game of "playing government".
This isn't a game, and it has resulted in a major human tragedy.

12. He should have been fired |
|
Letting him resign was total BS, he was a lying unqualified twit who caused people to die. I want the resignation of the person who appointed him to FEMA in the first place. Mr president, I'm talking about you.

13. If he was FIRED he would have gotten some sort of severance package .. |
|
Yes or No with him resigning he gets nothing? I'm just asking this because I'm not sure how this works. IMO Brown should be put in prison for his incompetence and his lies which has caused people to die. The worse thing that can happen now is that we keep paying him for his resignation.

14. I would think it would depend on the reason for his firing |
|
If it were due to him lying on his resume, then no. They aren't wanting to admit he padded (faked!) his resume, so they can't use that.
To let him resign and then have bush say he had no knowledge of his resignation doesn't do anything toward damage control. They're still up a creek without a paddle from what I can tell.
