Brownie resigns

aw, brownie ("drownie" as he was christened by americablog), we hardly knew ye...

The top US emergencies official has resigned following criticism over the response to Hurricane Katrina. [...] News of his resignation came after the president visited central New Orleans for the first time since the disaster. [...] Mr Brown said he was quitting "in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president".

"The president appreciates Mike Brown's service," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters on board Air Force One.

"This was Mike Brown's decision. This was a decision he made."

yeah, and i'm the reincarnation of jimmy durante...
