This one's just too delicious not to blog:
WASHINGTON — Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown (search) is being removed from his role managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
Brown is being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, where he was the primary official overseeing the federal government's response to the disaster, FOX News has confirmed. Brown will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is scheduled to hold a press conference in Baton Rouge at 1:45 EDT.
For the first time in five years, the Bush Administration has come dangerously close to admitting they may have actually made a mistake. I never thought I'd see the day (but I'll be even happier when they hand both Brown and Chertoff their pink slips)!
