Live Thread:O'Reilly Factor: Why Did Police Chief of NO Suddenly Quit? A Factor Investigation

Fox News

[gusopol3]

coming up ...not sure whether he will be talking about looting or payroll padding

[taxesareforever]

There is a story that almost HALF of the NOPD existed only on paper. Wonder who was cashing their paychecks?

Kofi's nephew?:)

OR has got some guy on there (the guy who wrote kerry's bio) and he is reaming Nagin a new one. He won't a federal investigation of Nagin NOW. He doesn't want any money to go to him. Says that Nagin wants to be the quarterback of rebuilding NO with all that federal money. He says the feds need to pull the quarterback before any rebuilding. Says the police dept. is in shambles and someone (historian) needs to go back and find out exactly what happened before Katrina hit. Why wasn't Nagin holding press conferences? Or why wasn't he evacuating people, where was the food and water at the astrodome? Where were the police? He was ticked off and wants a federal investigation.

INteresting......I thought he was pretty much a dem. First time I heard a dem call for an investigation for Nagin. ummmmmmm

"Snow beat him to it by two days"

I'm not surprised. If you check BOR out very closely most of his topics are "after the fact", it's rare he actually has anything "new" or innovative. He is the worst copycat there is on the air.

[gusopol3]

heard"Dick Cheney's chief of staff" and will testify.

[RoseofTexas]

Yeah! There's a thread on that going on right now!

[norton]

No, Beebers are strabge,
missing Google references are irritating.

[traderrob6]

Thanks for the thread but the link provided is the same as I had posted and it's still dead.

[caisson71]

I wonder if NO recovered all their police cars found in Florida.....with NO police officers still in them.

[JRochelle]

"He is the worst copycat there is on the air."

True, and he takes credit for everything. Still claims he could have gotten Gore to win in 2000.
And that "lookin out for you" BS is sickening. The last thing I need is O'Reilly lookin' out for me. Plus he is a pervert.

[EDINVA]

Actually .. for as incompetent as Nagin was on this entire hurricane business, he had been working to clean out the city government ... exposed a good bit of corruption, including particularly at the school board. The corruption DOES go back to the mayor's office .. except, in this case, it was the Mayors Morial and Landrieu. Nagin himself actually isn't so corrupt as incompetent.

Investigating a story that Tony Snow broke?
He's got cajones.

[Sunnyflorida]

I think this David Brinkley is the historian.

[gusopol3]

I have been privately informed you are correct ---Except it's Douglas Brinkley. I apologize.

[Humal]

"where was all of that salary money going to?"

Don't forget the costs of benefits (medical, taxes, Social Security, etc.) and of outfitting those "Phantom Cops" (uniforms, weapons, belts, vehicles, etc.). A million here and a million there will soon add up to real money.

[NavySEAL F-16]

It's not just the paychecks -- how about all their benefits, from pension to health care, etc.?

This is just scratching the surface in the corruption of LA.

The New Orleans D.A.'s office also laid off a very high percentage of "non-essential" employees! LOL

Did these employees really exist -- only time will tell if there really is an investigation into this.

Harry Connick Jr.'s father was the D.A. in New Orleans for 32 years. Very big supporter of Mary Landreiu -- helped with the buses in 1996 elections.

[Sunnyflorida]

No problem. This is the first time I have seen him not be an applogist for NOLA. He is also a pretty big defender of Kerry and was, I recall, anti swfity.
