good.

So, Bush is finally doing something? How fun. Too bad America had never been hit by a hurricane before, maybe someone would have told Bush that the director of FEMA needed to know more than hows to brush the hair on a horses balls. If only we(Bush) had known this sort of thing could happen.

Either way, this response to the critics will dent Bush & Co.

Brownie was ready to leave a month ago: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/31/AR2005073100890.html

So he's still technically the Director of FEMA though? Is he going to be replaced?
If so are others with no disaster management experience in high positions due to Bush Administration nepotism also going to be replaced?

"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."

"The Oklahoma native, 50, (Brown) was hired to the agency after a rocky tenure as commissioner of a horse sporting group by former FEMA director Joe M. Allbaugh, the 2000 Bush campaign manager and a college friend of Brown's.

Rhode, Brown's chief of staff, is a former television reporter who came to Washington as advance deputy director for Bush's Austin-based 2000 campaign and then the White House. He joined FEMA in April 2003 after stints at the Commerce Department and the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Altshuler is a former presidential advance man. His predecessor, Scott Morris, was a media strategist for Bush with the Austin firm Maverick Media.

David I. Maurstad, who stepped down as Nebraska lieutenant governor in 2001 to join FEMA, has served as acting director for risk reduction and federal insurance administrator since June 2004. Daniel A. Craig, a onetime political fundraiser and campaign adviser, came to FEMA in 2001 from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where he directed the eastern regional office, after working as a lobbyist for the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association."

no, he resigned from FEMA. That article I posted was from August 1.
