Not that many four-star imbeciles have his credentials. However, this does not mean he's politically savvy enough to run with the Beltway politicos, and he's presiding over a massive clusterfuck of a cabinet department, by all accounts.

I don't think, from what I've read, Brownie fucked up out of sheer stupidity. He just didn't care and never expected to deal with such a serious issue. He was a guy riding a good resume-building gig, like 9 out of 10 heads of agencies. He just happened to be the unlucky bastard who had a disaster happen on his watch.

Especially unlucky then that he was put in charge of disaster planning and management.
