Who was it yesterday posted Brown would step down today?
Could you make the same prediction for Bush...if that works, I'll have a longer list for you.

Did you have inside information? I got the chills when I looked at the headlines this afternoon. You're hired!

1. Brown didn't step down
He was pulled frrom leading the Katrina recovery efforts. He is still head of FEMA, currently drowning his pain in a pitcher of Margaritas

2. Heck, Brown was *hired* so he could step down.
He's a fall-guy, a patsy. Bushco always has to have someone to blame.

6. So what will his PROMOTION be?
We all know that comes next. He'll be ambassador to New Zealand or something. He'll get a big raise, and sent somewhere fantastic.

4. He stepped back, not down.
He's still head of FEMA, but back in D.C. now.

8. same difference. He could be the fall guy but it sure settles the
question of who's fault it is.
