BROWNIE, YOU'RE *STILL* DOING A HECK OF A JOB?!?

"As I told the President, it is important that I leave now to avoid further distraction from the ongoing mission of FEMA." That was Michael "Brownie" Brown on September 12.

But today CBS news reports that the timing of his leaving might not have been all that important:
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 it's response following Hurricane Katrina. ***

Later this evening, CBS News correspondent Gloria 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."
It seems to me that Brownie's "experience" is just the sort of dangerous and malignant material that I.T. professionals advise users not to "download".
