MICHAEL BROWN, CONFIRMED BY DEMOCRATS [Byron York]
Amid all the bashing of FEMA director Michael Brown as an incompetent, unqualified, resume-padding political hack, one small factor has been overlooked: His job required Senate confirmation, didn't it? Indeed it did. And not only was Brown confirmed, but he was apparently confirmed by a unanimous voice vote -- when the Senate was controlled by Democrats. An enterprising blogger has found the transcript of Brown's June 19, 2002 confirmation hearing before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, then chaired by Sen. Joseph Lieberman. The whole affair, including tributes from Brown's home-state senators, apparently lasted less then an hour, and ended with Lieberman saying, "Mr. Brown, I thank you very much. I will certainly support your nomination. I will do my best to move it through the committee as soon as possible so we can have you fully and legally at work in your new position." The hearing was for Brown's nomination as deputy director of FEMA; it appears that Brown did not have to be re-confirmed when he became director.

When you have a General, you do not need FEMA.
I think they said a news conf in a few minutes.
just announced on Fox
I don't think Trent Lott would back you up on that.
Uh...and go where?
How about we wait until those two "IF'S" are settled?
Fema is not a first response agency, it was a state issue, so what's the problem.
Getting a nominee through the bloody Senate might be a pain in the butt.
Nagin and Blanco should be prosecuted. AS for Michael Brown, I give a loud South Mississippi GOODBYE!
Bush is totally loyal to his people. It's obvious though that he lied on his resume and Bush had to cut him loose.
FoxNews said News conference on this coming up in a few minutes.
AP now reporting Brown will be removed - but unclear from what- they say he'll be removed as head of hurricane recovery...baffling.
Wait until the details come out. If it is true that his resume had some irregularities, even though he is the target of a left smear, then that would never stand with this president. Not putting all her cards on the table killed Linda Chavez's nomination, and she's better than what he got. This president demands honesty.
But to tell the truth, I don't know what's going on and will wait until the truth comes out. Maybe Major Garrett will report on this. Then I might believe it!
"Offer the job to Jesse Jackson."
By my count, that would be Jesse's first real job.
NO not removed but went back to his real job in WDC, these freaks are still twisting things.
