Witness. . . the next Rove-a-Dope
They're piling up the political hay on the left over Michael Brown, the ex-FEMA chief who handled 500+ federal emergencies for the Bush administration only to resign over criticism about New Orleans post-Katrina and the federal response.
The left is clamoring for a look at Brown's confidential and candid reports from the field in the immediate wake of the storm. Senators are beginning to grandstand that since Brown is now a "private citizen" he no longer needs to respect "Presidential perogative".
No matter how CNN tries to spin this, this is not an advance warning of some release of information that will be harmful to the Bush administration. Sure there will be some colorful language about Blanco and Nagin's incompetance and stonewalling, but that will be nothing compared to the direct indictments handed down about the failures of state and local officials to properly act as first responders (and even second responders) during and immediately after the hurricane. I'm sure more than a little will be revealed about how the emergency supplies DHS paid for (MRE's and bottled water) to be pre-positioned in New Orleans LONG BEFORE the storm were somehow MIA throughout the entire disaster.
Mark my words, if Brown does release his correspondence with the White House, it won't be hurting Bush or his administration, but it will be downright disasterous for Nagin, Blanco and the political left in general.
