ABC is reporting that Michael “Fired Horse Whisperer” Brown has been officially relieved of Katrina-related duties at FEMA, which makes us wonder what he’s going to do besides resign:

Sept. 9, 2005 — Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown, under criticism due to his management of Hurricane Katrina as well as reported discrepancies on his resume, has been ousted from disaster relief efforts. And sources have told ABC News that Brown is also expected to be out as head of the agency very soon. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that Brown will return to Washington, D.C., and Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen of the Coast Guard will be elevated to take over Katrina recovery.
