Listening to the Mayor late last night was amazing . . . he seems totally overwhelmed and helpless . . . like if you or I woke up and found out we were Mayor of New Orleans . . . we might be nice people, even fairly smart, but totally ill prepared to lead the city out of the biggest crisis ever . . . he seems like a passive observer, rather than a knowledgeable disaster manager . . . maybe he'd make a great neighbor, but he's in over his head . . .

It's a mess here, and I hope the people in KY and OH batten down the hatches, 'cause she's still packing a whollop!

I feel sorry for the mayor today. I think he's in so over his head (no pun intended).
