| Mr. Brown, get out of town |
"Brownie" has been dispatched back to Washington to work on the "big picture..." while a real, live vice admiral has been put in charge of the Katrina aftermath. I have to admit I worried about the White House seeking short-term political advantage by putting Rudy Giuliani in charge -- until I remembered that George W. Bush wouldn't hand a national platform on a silver platter to a potential presidential candidate that wasn't practically a member of the family (not to mention a possible rival to Dick Cheney in 2008). On the other hand, sending Michael Brown back to D.C., but letting him remain in his post as head of FEMA sounds a lot like tying up a rabid dog instead of shooting it -- it just delays the inevitable...
