It seems like the Bush Administraton is ready to cut off another one of its biggest embarrassments.
On Thursday, former FEMA director Michael D. Brown said that Chertoff deserved to be fired for his performance during Hurricane Katrina, and another official who oversaw the federal response, Matthew Broderick, director of operations for DHS, resigned.
Excerpts from the article written by John Gizzi, Political Editor for Human Events Online:
In the aftermath of the public revelation of the presidential "teleconference" and mounting criticism of the performance of Michael Chertoff, Administration sources told HUMAN EVENTS today that the secretary of Homeland Security has "only a few days left" in the Bush Cabinet.
As one source acquainted with the former federal prosecutor and U.S. appellate judge said under promise of anonymity, "They will give [Chertoff] a little time so it won't hurt his reputation too much, but he's probably got only a few days left."
I guess Michael Chertoff has made King George IV look bad, and he will soon get the axe.
With all the failures of Katrina, this firing is way past due. Bye-bye, and don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
In the cold, harsh words of Donald Trump from The Apprentice, "Mr.Chertoff, you're fired!"
