On Nightline last night (or possibly the night before) Nagin was interviewed by Ted Koppel. Koppel asked Nagin to comment on this (the Congressman is under some indictment as well, and Koppel allued to this as well). Nagin looked like a deer caught in headlights...Nagin backpedaled and said (to the affect) 'ABC is a credible news organization, but I hadn't heard of (the use of military assets) this situation. Koppel (to his credit--and I can't believe I cam giving him any) asked again, well if these charges are true, and Nagin just mumbled and stumbled more. Nagin did say, however, that he hasn't even flown over his house yet...he doesn't want to know what happened to it.
How dare you question the guilded liberal elite power structure. Don't you know how long this man waited on the plantation before moving up?
Somehow the line from Pink Floyd seems appropriate now: Get'em up against the wall.
