Cripes, man, do you read? Does everybody "HERE" know how you twist posts to back off of your own irritating statements? Here is what I said:
"You're wrong. And I'm tired of having to defend the mayor of a destroyed city just because politics puts him, or you, or whoever on the wrong side of the fence. The mayor and ALL of the officials of New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole warned everyone beginning Friday that this storm was not going to turn, that it was a worst-case scenario, and that everyone had to get out. A mandatory evacuation in a major US city is a significant order to give. They did it, and were as blunt as could be that people needed to leave." The mandatory evacuation very well did come late Saturday or early Sunday. The voluntary evacuation and the warnings came Friday, because I was glued to the news and I even thought the mayor was being overdramatic when he said "this is the one we've been afraid of." Over and over again. His, and other officials, predictions could not have been more dire, and we all saw and heard them on the news. Where were you? You totally mischaracterized him by saying he was planning that the storm would turn.
Enough. Keep spinning it however you want.
