Are Brown's days at FEMA numbered?

Michael Brown, head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has a lot of people calling for his head after this past week, including some from the conservative side.

The conservative World Net Daily has an article pointing out Brown was fired from his previous job as a commissioner at the International Arabian Horse Association. In 2001, he got the job as head of FEMA through a college friend, Patrick Rhode, who was was an event planner for President Bush's campaign. Brown had no previous experience in emergency management.

Andrew Sullivan is calling for Brown to be fired.

Even Michelle Malkin has a post on her blog entitled MEMO TO BUSH: FIRE MICHAEL BROWN.

Brown's appointment happened for one reason: cronyism. He has no experience that qualifies him to be running such an important agency of the government and ought to be given the boot.
