CNN confirms Brownie has resigned as FEMA director.

[flpoljunkie]

Brownie is the Bushista designed fall guy, to deflect from Dubya's failed leadership.

[gkhouston]

1. Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job

setting a nice example for blivet**. Here's hoping he takes the hint and resigns, too.

[flpoljunkie]

2. Even Greenfield said, "stuff rolls downhill" indicating Brownie fallguy.

Too bad Bush doesn't resign.

[Julius Civitatus]

6. All blame will be deflected from Bush

Now Bush will appoint Saint Rudy or some other right-wing icon at the head of FEMA, and Karl Rove will play the "Bush-is-the-savior-of-Murka" card.

The media will slowly start reading from Karl's cscript again.

Watch it unfurl.

:argh:

[flpoljunkie]

10. That is the plan. Am wondering if he will ask James Lee Witt to come back

Nah! Got to hand our those Katrina contracts to Dubya's cronies.

[Julius Civitatus]

13. Can't happen. He was a Clinton appointee...

...and as anyone knows, everything that the Clenis ever did was bad, evil and unclean. The Bush fuck-up team has devoted the last 5 years to deconstruct everything good that Clinton did for America.

Bush will appoint some right-wing icon, saint Rudy or Bernard Kerik. Freepers will jizz in their pants, and the media will get back in full force to the "praise Chimpy" mode.

3. This guy deserves to be gone and we deserve to have him

be gone.

It doesn't excuse Dubya's bungles, as in appointing this guy who lied on his resume, in addition to not being experienced.

4. Why is Ashkkkroft conveniently in the CNN studio to discuss it?

[flpoljunkie]

7. Apparently, he will be the John Roberts' analyst for CNN for the Rethugs.

[tridim]

8. Oh, well that explains it..

:eyes:

[flpoljunkie]

14. Believe Ashcroft was on Judciary Committee. There are some real knuckle

draggers from the Republican party on the Judiciary Committee--the latest is the Senator from Oklahoma, Tom Coburn--right-wing ideologue.

[Julius Civitatus]

5. When is he gonna be indicted on CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE charges???

Is he falling on his sword to protect Monkey Boy?

[Pithy Cherub]

9. What took so long?

:shrug:

What possesses somebody to take a job they are COMPLETELY unqualified for in the first place. Ego. (See Bush....)

on edit: :hide:ing behind a SCOTUS nominee today?;)

[flpoljunkie]

11. FEMA has been marginalized and privatized. 80% of budget goes to terrorism

now, and the funding has been cut. The Rethugs tried to downsize FEMA and it came back to bite them in the ass.

[Beaverhausen]

12. Now he will go head one of the companies who got a contract to rebuild

don't worry...if you are a bush friend you will be taken care of.

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. What took so long? This guy's head should have rolled last week.

Along with Chertoff.

[flpoljunkie]

16. Cafferty is going off on the rest of the political hacks at FEMA! Bravo!

[SillyGoose]

17. GOOD. Now he'll have lots of time for more of those stiff margaritas.

NEXT.

[Clark2008]

18. Maybe he can be the director of the American Kennel Assocation, now.

Oh - never mind. We know his record on protecting humans AND animals isn't all that great.
