I never said Nagin had to get everybody out, but at least he could have gotten the most vulnerable out.

And did not Nagin control the police force? Now maybe there is nothing he could have done once the storm approached, but how long was he in office before that? That's my point, my issues with Nagin go way back to even before the storm approached.

I'm gonna stick my neck out here, but someone's gotta do it.

Nagin was the most effective mayor NOLA has had in my adult life.

Now, that ain't sayin' much. But apparently some folks think the mayor of NOLA should be the point man for dealing with an epic catastrophe. And that just ain't realistic.
