    Channel 2 did a story on Mayor Lee P. Brown's address to the Democratic National Convention. (He spoke for 3 1/2 minutes, and didn't really say much.)

    After showing the clip, Bill Biessa (sp?) was talking about a line from the speach "I'll see you'all next year at Al Gore's Whitehouse." They said it could be foreshadowing of a potential appointment by Al Gore (if he wins).

    Bill Biessa said, "of course, he could reasonably expect some type of position in the Gore administration. And of course one position talked about that might be open is the FBI director.

    How do "you'all" feel about that? The suggestion that he would be considered for that position terrifies me. That's a job where, regardless of the other views, you want a strong leader with a strong record of law enforcement. (Yes, I know Brown's previous jobs, but he acted more as a paper pusher and a status quo guy than someone who pushed law enforcement.)

    Thoughts?

    Why not? He screwed up the police departments in Atlanta, NYC, and Houston; accomplished next to nothing as Clinton's Drug Czar, and is doing his best to screw up the City of Houston. He would be just as good a marionette as FBI director as Bill Freech is.

    Just another reason to vote for Bush!!!

    Lee P. Brown came into power as police chief in Atlanta, New York, and Houston...in each of these cities crime went up and police officer morale went down. Why in the world would anyone appoint this man to another law enforcement position?
