A week ago yesterday, George W. Bush praised FEMA chief Michael Brown, saying "you've done a helluva job, Brownie." Today, Brownie was relieved of command of the hurricane relief effort and shipped back to Washington to "return to his duties as overall FEMA chief."
This raises a few questions.
If George W. Bush cannot tell a helluva good job from a job that deserves sacking, can we trust his judgment on other issues?
If George W. Bush meant to say "a helluva bad job," why did it take a week to sack Brownie? Is there anything else he's said lately (i.e. since his election) that sounds like one thing but means the opposite?
What are the "overall duties" of the FEMA chief, if not to supervise relief efforts following the single most devastating disaster since the Chicago Fire and the San Francisco Earthquake?
Inquiring minds want to know.
