Default Mike Brown removed of authority for FEMA effort in New Orleans

Good for the administration. A little late. But good for the president. This gentleman was in over his head, and the primary responsibility needs to be the recovery and not political loyalties.

I take it you are not of the opinion that those that employed him in this position should be held accountable for their decisions?

What do you want to do, impeach the President for making a poor choice of political appointees?

Apparently it makes more sense than impeaching someone for committing a "high crime or misdemeanor" like Clinton DID.

No. I would impeach him for embarking on a war under false pretenses. That would have better legs.

The point I'm making is that when someone is removed from office because he was not upto the job, a closer look at his employer's judgements are in order rather than a pat on the back.

Doubtful, esp. given the fact he had legistative approval.

Fine. My question is what comes after the closer look?
