Mike Brown being pulled off Hurricane Relief
He is being replaced by Vice Admiral Thad Allen, chief of staff of the US Coast Guard.
I guess they are not firing him. Maybe they will put him on some lessor disasters. I was just sitting Madison Square Park in NYC watching the US Open on a large TV that is set up there. When this news bulletin came on, the crowd broke into applause. Apparently there is also some questions about exaggerations of Brown's resume.

In part: [ QUOTE ] Five of eight top Federal Emergency Management Agency officials came to their posts with virtually no experience in handling disasters and now lead an agency whose ranks of seasoned crisis managers have thinned dramatically since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. FEMA's top three leaders -- Director Michael D. Brown, Chief of Staff Patrick J. Rhode and Deputy Chief of Staff Brooks D. Altshuler -- arrived with ties to President Bush's 2000 campaign or to the White House advance operation, according to the agency. Two other senior operational jobs are filled by a former Republican lieutenant governor of Nebraska and a U.S. Chamber of Commerce official who was once a political operative. [/ QUOTE ]
