Brown is a bloody idiot and a disgrace, period. Good riddance.
Yes, Bush picked him and it was a disasterously poor pick, but Joe Lieberman's Senate committee confirmed him, so the failure was on both sides of the fence if one wants to start casting stones. Bush damn-sure needed to put better people in certain positions, but Lieberman damn-sure should have done more than a 40-minute confirmation hearing on Brown, which is the equivalent of a "rubber-stamp" pass through the system...
I think both parties are going to be MUCH more careful on their lead agency picks from now on; those who do the initial picking and those that do the confirmation hearings...
