Remember

Josh Marshall has the goods on FEMA director Michael Brown:

So, just to recap, Brown had no experience whatsoever in emergency management. He was fired from his last job for incompetence. He was hired because he was the new director's college roommate. And after the director -- who himself got the job because he was a political fixer for the president -- left, he became top dog. And President Bush said yesterday that he thinks Brown is "doing a helluva job".

Sounds about right. The cronyism and corruption of this administration has always been a disgrace; will this deadly incompetence finally blow up in their faces? Only if we keep paying attention. The outrage this week has been evident in the media and in public opinion, but I fear in another week it will be back to missing white women and the menace of swearing on television.
