I didn't say, or imply, anything about race. I was responding directly to the statement that those who 'do the job right' don't get any attention.

But if you want to do the 9-11/Katrina compare and contrast, the NYPD and NYFD had a 98% intact city from which to respond, with electricity and communications and all of the other basic amenities of modern life. In addition, they were able to actually move around the city.

Rudy would've had a far more significant task in NOLA last week than he had on 9/11.

Remember, also Rudy was a big name even before 9/11. Did anyone ever hear of Nagin before Katrina outside of New Orleans?
