| Who's in charge? |
Original post: 2:13 p.m.: It turns out President Bush didn't recall "Brownie" to Washington -- DHS director Michael Chertoff did. (Memo to Michelle Malkin: please read a newspaper...) Bush simply agreed to go along with the decision. Could this kind of thing (this and the seeming chaos and rampant incompetence in Republican-led government in Washington) be the reason the president is no longer perceived as a strong, competent leader by the majority of Americans...?
Update: Cheney didn't make the decision on Brown, either:
"Mike Chertoff made those decisions and I certainly support him," Cheney told reporters at the Austin convention center, which is housing about 1,500 evacuees. Some have called for Brown to be fired, but Cheney deferred to Chertoff.
Verdict: Chertoff is in charge. So how's his resume? Jesus, he's a lawyer! Isn't there anybody in the Bush national and domestic security operation who has actual, relevant experience??? This guy can prosecute the bejeezus out of a suspected terrorist, but his background doesn't suggest he knows a whit more about disaster management than Michael "I don't watch CNN and was the only person in the world who didn't know there were people in the convention center" Brown... yeesh...
