Bush: Two Wrongs Make A Right

Heeeee's back:

CBS News correspondent Gloria Borger reports that Michael Brown, who recently resigned as the head of the FEMA, has been rehired by the agency as a consultant to evaluate its response following Hurricane Katrina. * * *

Borger spoke with a spokesman for FEMA, Russ Knocke, who confirmed that Brown remains on the FEMA payroll. He also said that technically Brown remains at FEMA as a "contractor" and he is "transitioning out of his job." The reason he will remain at FEMA about a month after his resignation, said the spokesman, is that the agency wants to get the "proper download of his experience."

When Bush announced he was going to personally investigate what went wrong with the Katrina response, I figured he was probably the worst guy anyone could ever choose to conduct such an investigation. When I reached that conclusion, I guess I never figured he'd re-hire "Brownie" to also perform that task.

Actually, the title of this post should be "Three Wrongs Make a Right."

UPDATE: By the way, I think Michael Brown is an asshole.
