FEMA Director Brown Resigns, Eyes 2008 White House Bid

Washington, D.C. - FEMA director Michael Brown has resigned, according to senior administration sources.

Last week, Brown was relieved of his emrgency management duties in New Orleans and recalled to Washington on the pretense of urgent national FEMA business. Sources confirm that the real reason is to begin preparing for a 2008 Presidential Bid.

"This [darn] hurricane has taken too much attention away from this country's most pressing need; repeal of the 22nd Amendment," said administration sources. Adding, "All of our plans revolved around Bush beating [presumed Democratic nominee] Hillary [Clinton] in '08, but if he can't Brownie [Michael Brown] is the next least qualified."

When asked about the 2008 race, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said, "We categorically deny any preference based on race."

A Gallup Poll showed, Brown and Clinton in a virtual dead heat were the election to be held today.
