The FEMA Director that Would Not Leave

Ordinarily, if you screw up royally at your job, you get fired. But as this article makes plain, if you're the politically connected former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, you stay on to consult. To wit, the paragraph:

"Brown, who ran FEMA for more than two years, has a two-week 'transition' remaining at the agency, during which he will advise the department on 'some of his views on his experience with Katrina,' Homeland security spokesman Russ Knocke said. He is receiving full pay."

Beyond "I screwed the pooch big time," I can't for the life of me imagine what "views" he could possibly have.
