A miracle. The Inquirer's website is reporting the truth about Mayor Nagin.

Kinda looks like all the planes bunched together at Henderson Field, Hawaii Dec. 7, 1941, 0700 don't it?? My poor Baton Rouge has changed forever. My biggest question is what do we do for the next election. If NO gets to vote on BR issues, they take BR politics over, they outnumber us now!

The link you provided goes to a different story.

I'd like to read the rest of this article.......can you help?

Nagin's radio tirade criticizing the FedGov's response illustrates his attitude well: "It's somebody else's problem." This loser should be removed from office.

Jabber Gibson should receive an award for his efforts.

That particular tidbit is found on a supplemental to that report.

The MSM already has the answer: it's all Bush's fault.

I rarely if ever link to articles. Inevitably my computer freezes or worms or viruses attack.

I have confined myself to visiting FR and one other site.

[OldFriend]

Now that Nagin is saying that the CIA will probably try to take him out because he criticized the government, there ought to be no doubt the man is a substance abuser.

'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'...

Does anyone know the official chain of command for state government? I'm sure it does not jump straight from the State Governor to the President of the United States. Are the state senators in the chain and possibly responsible? By the way; I have been reading here for a few months. This situation pushed me to register and post today. Any guidance is appreciated.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

There's something definitely wrong with this guy. I don't know if it's substance abuse, a lifetime of conditioning in victimhood mentality, or a combination of factors. There is no way this whack should have ever gotten elected. The only explanation possible is the inner-city voting block, whose sense of integrity and level of knowledge on pertinent issues is on the level of muslims who only listen to al-Jazeera.

All this guy does is gripe that somebody else didn't do this or that. He's forgetting that he's the mayor, not some mid-level government slacker in a do-nothing job.

[OldFriend]

The Governor is the only state official who can ask for Federal help.

The feds cannot take over a state under any circumstances without explicit WRITTEN request from the Governor.

[zarf]

I can't prove it of course, but Nagin looks to me like someone who enjoys a bong hit now and again.

LOL! Dude! I thought the same damned thing!!

He has the persona of a guy who Od's on prozac.

Thank you for all of that wonderful imformation!
I didn't know the particulars.


"In either case, he's an incompetent, malfeseant moron who is responsible for getting people killed."


Do you think it is possible that he will be held liable?

That may be a very silly question.
I'm only wondering about the possibilities.
