SEN. LANDRIEU: BROWN RESIGNATION NOT ENOUGH
Sen. Mary Landrieu, fresh from melting down like the NO PD during several national television appearances over the weekend, says the resignation of now former FEMA Director Michael Brown isn't enough to solve the relief problems.
This blog agrees with Sen. Landrieu. Gov. Kathleen Blanco should resign immediately or be removed from office. Mayor Ray Nagin should resign immediately or be removed from office. And LA Lt Gov Mitch Landrieu--Sen. Mary Landrieu's brother--should resign as well. Everyone involved in Louisiana's and New Orleans' disaster preparedness planning should also resign or be removed from office. They failed their constituents. They need to find other work.
Along with Brown's departure, these proposed resignations/impeachments/recalls won't solve the relief problems. But they would go along way toward getting those responsible for the debacle out of the way as the rebuilding gets going. It would also demonstrate that officials will be held accountable for their failures.
