FEMA Director tucked away

President Bush has tucked his FEMA director away, bringing him back to DC and putting a Coast Guard Admiral in his place on the scene.

Do not be fooled. Do not relent. Brown has not been fired. Continue to sign the petition for his removal (use the link on the right).

Here is a quote from the Washington Post story.

The decision to sideline Brown yesterday was an implicit rebuke of a top aide by Bush, who rarely fires or publicly disciplines lieutenants as long as they are loyal.

The problem is that the rebuke should have been explicit, not implicit. Brown should be fired because he is categorically unqualified to do the job (like many in Bush's administration).
