Awkward: Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin offers hurricane prep tips
The Daily Caller ^ | August 27, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 08/27/2011 10:37:28 AM PDT by supahstar2005

No, this wasn’t meant to be a joke. Although many believe the 2005 response to Hurricane Katrina was a colossal failure at every level of government, former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin appeared on MSNBC on Friday to offer preparedness advice for those in Hurricane Irene’s path.

Speaking with Martin Bashir, Nagin gave government agencies and their leaders high marks for their preparations. But he said only time will tell if the public follows their instructions.

First, go after the high price electronics. Flat screens. iPads. Then, check out the fashions. Leather jackets. Sports wear. Finally, stock up on Heineken. You don’t know when the next CAT 2 is coming, and you can’t be certain that, in the future, the mayor will order an evacuation just on the possibility.

#8- Lock yourself in hotel suite, refuse to come out, have meltdown.

#9- Take crazy pills with stupid juice. Write book, taking credit for everything, blame for nothing.

1st thing you must do if a hurricane is coming, make sure Bush aint President! He’ll expect you and your governor to know what to do!

Here's Ray's Hurricane Action Plan:

1. Drink heavily.

2. Take a nap.

3. Put person down 4 levels in management, who got their Masters' Degree from a diploma mill, in charge of hurricane preparedness.

4. Tell people that it's going to be OK.

5. Flee to an inland city without telling anybody.

6. Disappear on a 4-day bender.

7. Hold a news conference saying that the federal govt. acted in bad faith to go ahead and activate FEMA and the National Guard to help rescue and relief efforts.

8. Disappear for weekend bender.

9. Hold another news conference saying that none of it is your fault, FEMA and the National Guard are supposed to be clairvoyant and magically fix all your problems without telling you or the news media.

10. Return to your office and pretend that nothing ever happened. Don't worry about not getting re-elected, a no-show contractor job awaits after you're kicked off this gravy train. The people that don't live in a million-dollar house and can afford a million-dollar drinking problem are just jealous.

Actually, Nagin really should be an expert on hurricane preparation. Nothing teaches faster than failure, and his experience was a total, abject failure. He must have learned something.

sorry normy, i guess you haven’t heard the latest word from MSM propaganda machine. Bush has nothing to do with anything at all anymore.

Dear Leader currently places all blame on Congress’s shoulders. This is subject to change at any time;of course!
