And not a moment too soon

Looks like heads are beginning to roll over disaster relief. It appears FEMA Director Mike Brown is out as the head of Katrina relief.

He was obviously going to be the first to take the hit over this.

It is only a matter of time before he leaves FEMA. He is probably already preparing the usual " I want to spend more time with my family speech".

He was clearly unqualified for the position. There are some places where it really doesn't matter if someone has experience. This is not one of them. I am coming to the conclusion that what we need is sort of a natural disaster czar who is only answerable to the president and is authorized to cut all red tape and ignore all bureaucracies.. It seems like someone who is a former high ranking military officer would be a good fit although others such as Rudy Giuliani could get the job done. There also needs to be a clarification as to what the law really is regarding federal intervention. I suspect many of the same people screaming that the military should have been there immediately would have gone nuts if the national guard operations were federalized and active duty military sent in by the president without the proper request and authorization from the governor
