Too Little, Too Late

CNN is reporting that FEMA director Michael Brown has been removed from on-site operations in the South and called back to Washington, D.C. to "oversee the big picture," a senior White House official said. Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen will head up the ground operations in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Sorry, Mr. President. This is way too little, way too late. The only proper thing to do at this point is fire Brown. Period.
