So Helluva Job Brownie is finally on his way out the door.
I asked a friend who understands this Administration much better than I do why on earth they decided to fire Michael Brown in two stages, thus giving the story two news cycles.
His answer was dazzlingly simple: Karl Rove, who was always the brains of the operation, is so worried about whether he’s about to be indicted that he’s not at the top of his game. “Is there any way a Karl Rove not facing prison time would have had the President fly over the disaster area and look down at it? I don’t think so.”
