Does this mean he will go back to being a judge again? Fuuuuccckkk.

I don't think, from what I've read, Brownie fucked up out of sheer stupidity. He just didn't care and never expected to deal with such a serious issue. He was a guy riding a good resume-building gig, like 9 out of 10 heads of agencies. He just happened to be the unlucky bastard who had a disaster happen on his watch.

Dissent. While he may have been scapegoated, any guy who sends emails about how he is a fashion god, and looks so good that someone else would vomit, is just not desperately trying to get aid to the citizens of a ravaged city. Just because Chertoff is an imbecile doesn't mean that Brownie isn't one too. With this administration, that seems to be a threshold requirement to run an agency.
