Brown was forced out of the position after a spate of lawsuits over alleged supervision failures.
``He was asked to resign,'' Bill Pennington, president of the IAHA at the time, confirmed last night.

Unconfirmed reports also indicate that he was fired (forced out?) for incompetence while working for an Oklahoma law firm, as well.
THIS is the man that the President of the United States saw fit to bestow as the head of the Federal Emergency Management Administration. Based on what, exactly? His experience in mismanagement, or his experience in writing large checks?
There will come a time of reckoning. And I predict that Michael Brown, rather that be fired for gross incompetence, will instead be awarded the Medal of Freedom.
