I used to live in New Orleans, am pretty used to corrupt cops and a corrupt system, but that "vacation" takes the cake. You couldn't have pried the NYPD or FDNY from Ground Zero with the threat of a gun to their heads while they were engaged in recovery after the WTC - and that took MONTHS. I try to think what their response would have been if Rudy had suggested they needed a break so go take 5 days in Atlantic City. They would have looked at him like he was a new species of cockroach.
But then again, Nagin is no Giuliani. However, he may be a new species of cockroach.
I hear you.
It's like a pay-off.
