WASHINGTON - Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being removed from his role managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, The Associated Press has learned.
Brown is being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, where he was the primary official overseeing the federal government's response to the disaster, according to two federal officials who declined to be identified before the announcement.
Brown will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts....."

I read it on FR.

Hmm...
Sigh. A drop of blood in the water. The sharks are inbound en masse.
Not totally surprised at thid development.
Rightly or wrongly, it was coming.
The next question to ask is: Will he continue to remain head of FEMA down the road?
Opinions anyone?
Other thread was pulled.
I will be pissed if Brown is forced to leave. The stupid LA mayor and brainless LA gov need the boot though.
Brown did a great job with all the other recent disasters...he served under Allbaugh, didn't he? Where the heck is that experience in the media reports?
GWB: Keep Brown as FEMA head. Don't allow the stupid demodimwits to deflect the blame OR rearrange your administration appointments which they keep wanting to do.
My opinion? Good riddance. He wasn't qualified.
They've got a terrific fellow to replace him in the hurricane area:

Is anyone really qualified for a disaster like this?
Looks like VADM Allen is taking charge.
Pray for the USCG Admiral. He will be the next target.
I think Michael Brown is an attorney. He'll probably go back to the private sector. He'll write a book in about three years imo. Everybody writes "their story" at some point.
If the Times report is accurate, and I am not assuming it is yet, I want him fired. I help pay his salary and I would be offended by his falsehoods.

I think they just named the CS Admiral to head the FEMA operation in the region.
Yes, but with these 'Rats, all it will take is one tiny thing in his past before he's the next target. Hope he never dunked little Janie's pigtail into the inkwell.
This is being spun by the MSM as a "firing"...
"Adm. Thad's" got the bubble now...And thats ok...
This is much to do about nothing...
But thats just my opinion...
