Brownie was gonna resign anyway

Michael D. Brown was days away from announcing plans to resign as director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency when Hurricane Katrina hit Aug. 29, according to e-mails released by separate House and Senate investigations into the government's flawed response to the disaster.

Sen. Susan M. Collins (R-Maine), chairman of the Senate investigation, questioned whether Brown's status played a role in the response.

"The fact that it appears that Michael Brown was planning to resign may explain in part his curious detachment during the Katrina catastrophe," Collins said.

that just has to be the lamest, most disgusting excuse for criminal negligence i could ever even imagine... i don't give a good goddam if he was planning to resign... one of the greatest disasters to hit the u.s. is in progress and he's FRIGGIN' DETACHED...?

(thanks to raw story...)
