The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael D. Brown, was relieved of his duties in the Gulf Coast after he fucked up FEMA's efforts. He was replaced by Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, the third-ranking officer in the Coast Guard.

The secretary of homeland security, Michael Chertoff, described Mr. Brown's reassignment to FEMA headquarters here as a logical step in keeping with Mr. Brown's overall duties as FEMA director. Mr. Chertoff, speaking in Baton Rouge, La., said in a televised news briefing that the hurricane-recovery mission would now be led by Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, the third-ranking officer in the Coast Guard.

"Michael Brown has done everything he possibly could to coordinate the federal response to this unprecedented challenge," Mr. Chertoff said, accompanied by Admiral Allen and Mr. Brown. "I appreciate his work, as does everybody here."

Those words did not reflect the fierce criticism that Mr. Brown has come under for the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina and the disastrous flooding that followed, particularly in New Orleans. Some Congressional Democrats have demanded that President Bush fire him outright, and they criticized Mr. Brown anew this afternoon, after the announcement that he was being reassigned

I feel slightly nervous, but pensive, that an asshole has been relieved by a hawkish figure with no-neck.

Well, he wasn't actually shitcanned since he still holds the same post. But yeah, I'm glad he's not overseeing anything in the Gulf. The fucking tool.

Absurdity.

He has a neck. We just don't have security clearance to view it. There will be a time for neck-viewing once this crisis has passed.

This is an outrage! Over-privileged, under-qualified, rich, white, asshole business men with political connections shouldnt be held accountable. "Accountability" is only for poor people.

So how long until Bush pins a Presidential Medal of Freedom on his incompetent ass?

And how long until the new guy with no neck is teaching us how to do the Time Warp?

Good Riddence.

Hopefully the press won't strivel up into the limp dicks they were before this. Hell, they were only half-hard to begin with on this one. All of the information I got on this guy came from the internet.

And what a neck-viewing it will be.

I hear rumours that he is in fact the fabled Noneckolasaurus, the mysterious missing link that will reveal a complex and very thick structure in place of an actual human neck, that could only have been designed by an intelligent creator, and hence put these pesky Darwinists in their place once and for all.

Hey, I don't give a good goddamn if that retard had been replaced with a Japanese robot that had a broken pachinko machine for a brain and ran on rice candy and leprechaun puke. As long as we get some fucking results.

Besides, that no-neck guy looks like the kinda surly bastard that gets shit done.
