Question:

From the Bush Administration's perspective, which scenario offers the best spin? Fire Michael Brown, or accept his resignation?

I would have thought there would be points (maybe poll points) to be earned by acknowledging his poor performance and firing him. I know this administration, and GWB in particular, value loyalty very highly. Perhaps they thought that firing him would diminish that reputation. Certainly they don't think that they're expecting to shed any responsibility for Brown's (in)actions by meekly accepting his resignation?

Or, worse, don't think that he should leave the post at all?
