imagine what 9-11 would have been like, if Rudy and Pataki and everybody else - fled the city right after the attack, and just started doing TV and radio interviews asking "where are the feds"?

We knew Rudy and Pataki were great back then, now we see they were even greater than we imagined.

I agree they were good leaders. And I'm going to say the planning and execution for relief from a hurricane in NO was terrible. The mayor and gov. down there deserve each other. The Twin Towers were enormous and all but I think it's safe to say the enormity of this disaster is a magnitude of order larger than the Twin Towers coming down.
