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

I had, but only because I was in NO for a few days during the campaign.

I had forgotten about him completely until August 27.

My point is simple, and remains the same - the task which Nagin is being faulted for failing to accomplish was far beyond the capacity of this municipal government or any other municipal government, and was far beyond anything undertaken by any municipal government.
