Toasted

And so Michael Brown, Director of FEMA is out. Amid the controversy of FEMA’s dereliction of duties in failing to adequately prepare for and respond to what could be the country’s worst disaster in history , he was relieved of his command in the City of New Orleans and sent packing back to D.C. for his ultimate departure from governmental duties. Brown, blaming the media for some really bad press, stated, “I’m going to go home and walk my dog and hug my wife and, maybe get a good Mexican meal and a stiff margarita and a full night’s sleep. And then I’m going to go right back to FEMA and continue to do all I can to help these victims”. (Quoted from MSNBC.com )

Was this one of those Freudian slips? Walk the dog….hug the wife. Perhaps he clearly demonstrates his mindset. Care for the animals above human life.

First notch on the political bedpost. Who is next, Mr. President?

I vote that Mr. (Vacation-Loving) President next bid farewell to Chertoff. It was Chertoff who whined on a Meet the Press segment that this was an "unprecedented situation."

Well, uh, yes, isn't that what planning is all about?...how to deal effectively with those pesky unprecedented disasters?

I wrote a song in honor of your post....set to the tune of American Pie....


Bye, bye Mister FEMA guy,
You should have drove to the levee, but you thought it was dry,
now your gold ole boys are telling you goodbye
So Mister FEMA guy, bye bye!
