Brownie: "Torn between telling the absolute truth and relying on those talking points.."
"I have to confess ... you want to protect the president when you're a political appointee, so you're torn between telling the absolute truth and relying on those talking points. To this day, that is my biggest regret."
- Former FEMA Director Michael Brown
Well Brownie, if you cannot tell the "absolute truth" to the American people, who Congress trusted you to serve, then maybe you shouldn't be a political appointee.
You serve the President, yes. But above all, you serve the American people. And if there comes a time when you think your loyalty to your boss prevents you from telling the "absolute truth" to the American people, then you need to step down from your position.
