As we previously outlined in our coverage of the blueprint for disaster that was supposed to have been a rescue mission of monumental proportion; the head of FEMA, Michael Brown was a lawyer before taking on his most recent duties. Not only that but a lawyer for a horse association. And I thought horses had better sense.

Not only that but TIME has published a sizeable number of errors or inaccuracies in Brown's resume and some data which may or may not be credible was that he was let go by the horse association.

The end of this charade came quickly but not quick enough. FEMA’s head Brown stepped down from his post. This was after he was “reassigned” to get him out of the Katrina rescue/relief arena. That is a start.

One of the other problems was that during the Bush Administration, FEMA was demoted from a Cabinet position thus making the communication between FEMA and the President lacking. But that should have been expected and the FEMA head should have made sure that when Katrina hit that all of Washington knew what was going on. He didn't. He… Brown or “Brownie” as the President referred to him as, before Bush apparently watched the evening News and saw what a disaster “Brownie” had caused, failed to risk giving Bush the bad news that Bush was partially responsible for.

The levee system was not funded so that Bush could give away money to the wealthy in a so called "tax cut". The National Guard was lacking because they are in Iraq for an invasion and occupation that was initiated on false premises.

It is clear that Brown is taking a bullet for his Commander in Chief. The problem with this whole effort sits like a buzzard on the desk in the Oval Office.

Brown’s resignation is a start. Will the real culprit please resign… too.
