Brownout in effect at FEMA, not good enough for Jesse Jackson

Michael Brown, the embattled head of FEMA, is no longer in charge of the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

From ABC 7 Chicago:

"Michael Brown has been used as a scapegoat for a colossal failure," Jackson said.

Jackson is blaming the priorities of the Bush administration for the failure to reinforce the levees in New Orleans or respond quickly enough after the hurricane hit.

"Between tax cuts for the wealthy and $5 billion a month in Iraq, where they cut the budget for strengthening our own shores," he said.

I'm sure Jesse Jackson had little if anything to say about the glaring shortcomings of fellow the New Orleans' Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco.

Like Jesse, both are Democrats.
