Embattled FEMA Director Mike Brown Resigns

"Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown said Monday he has resigned 'in the best interest of the agency and best interest of the president,' three days after losing his onsite command of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort."

Don't feel bad for Brownie; I'm sure all of Shrub's cronies land on their feet with lucrative private-sector deals.

In other Washington news, Supreme Court Chief Justice robot nominee John Roberts is being coached by Republicans to refuse to answer sensitive questions. G-d bless my own state's Senator Dick Durbin, who said "Only your responses to our questions can convince us that the John Roberts of 2005 will be a truly impartial, open-minded chief justice."

What makes me nervous:

"The White House has released more than 70,000 documents from Roberts' time in the Reagan administration but has refused to release documents from his tenure as principal deputy solicitor general in the first Bush administration.

"Seventeen Democratic senators, including potential presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and John Kerry of Massachusetts, reiterated the party's call for the Bush administration to release those documents.

"'The people deserve to know the complete truth about Judge Roberts, the good and the bad alike,' they said in a letter to the White House."  [Emphasis mine]

Keep fighting the good fight, Dems!
