What Does Mike Brown Have To Do To Get Fired?

Fema chief Mike Brown has been relieved of command in New Orleans, but he has been sent back to Washington DC to continue to "lead" FEMA.

If he had tangentially criticized Karl Rove, now that is something he could have been fired for:

Texas Fires Lawyer After Story on Rove
Talking to Post Reporter Called Violation

When Post reporter Lori Montgomery telephoned the press office of the Texas secretary of state, the press officer was on vacation, and Montgomery was transferred to Reyes. The attorney, who spoke in two separate telephone calls, told Montgomery that it was potential voter fraud in Texas to register in a place where you don't actually live, and she was quoted as saying Rove's cottages don't "sound like a residence to me, because it's not a fixed place of habitation."

Reyes said yesterday that she was not aware that she was talking to a reporter, that she was not aware the discussion was about Rove, and that she had explained in the interviews that an individual's intent to return to Texas is a primary factor in qualifying for residency.

She told truth. That is the law. She didn't even know she was being asked about Rove -- the Washington Post confirms later in the story that she wasn't told the questions were about Rove -- yet she has been fired for giving an accurate description of the law regarding voter registration.

Kill thousands: Keep your job. Give accurate information that makes Karl Rove look bad: Out on your keester.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.
