New Orleans Mayor Suggests CIA May Take Him Out Over His Criticism of Federal Efforts (CNN)

On CNN just now. New Orleans Mayor Nagin, apparantly stressed out, in interview segment, said he has been yelling at the President and the Governor, and for all he knows, the "CIA could wipe me out". (Paraphrase) Just now.

Turning into a strange, macabre show now. Blame continues, spiraling out of control. Sad. It even raised CNN's eyebrows a bit.(5:57 p.m. Eastern/4:57 p.m. Central)

IS this guy spinning his own suicide?

Nagin said late Saturday that he's having his legal staff look into whether he can order a mandatory evacuation of the city, a step he's been hesitant to do because of potential liability on the part of the city for closing hotels and other businesses.

[Salvation]

Pineville (Central Louisiana State Hospital)

The criminally insane used to go to Jackson (East Louisiana State Hospital, f/k/a Louisiana Insane Asylum.) I dunno where they put them now.

I know this could strain even the most temperate among us, but I post it anyway. It is from a word given to the Church by Patricia King on December 25, 2004:

"Prayer for government leaders will be of utmost importance in 2005. Christians must be careful not to verbally curse or judge them in their hearts, but to cry out in their prayer closet for God's righteousness and wisdom to fill government leaders."

ZIP ta di do da, ZIP to de day...

I believe that about sums it up.

Carol Mosely Braun's family has to be the dumbest people ever.

Who on earth flees a hurrican by heading toward a city below sea level.

DUH.

"His drugs have run out"

Don't laugh. You maybe correct, although I have no proof. However, he did make a comment earlier this week--and I only heard part of the question---and part of his reponse but it went something like: "I'm not on drugs, I'm not talking crazy stuff here..."

Could their be rumours? NO is kinda' of a crazy place.

Speaking of Bubba, has he been asked why he didn't fund the building of levees, wetlands, ect, for his EIGHT years in office?

[AmericanInTokyo]

I pray that PINEVILLE is OPEN! Amen.

[TheMom]

Thanks for that headline. I have not had such a good laugh in quite a while.

"Ahh but the strawberries, that's where I had them...."

[StuLongIsland]

The same people who gave crack to Californians?

[Bon mots]

This is the man chiefly responsible for this mess, and he is absolutely out of his mind.

Usually, the feeble minded black Democrat mayor can say a few sentences before one realizes that he/she is a completely clueless imbecile. This one need only say about two words.

[OldFriend]

Mayor Nagin, the one who assured us he wasn't a drug user....that man???

[TomGuy]

Katrina flushed any future political aspirations Nagin might have had right out to the depths of the gulf.

[Agent Smith]

He was on the Blackberry with Jesse Jerkson and Jesse made a typo: "Stay out of the Buses" instead of "Stay out of the Bushes.

[chiller]

He is acting like he's going through withdrawal. And taking strange actions at great risk, like moving he and his group out of the Hyatt before the Superdome was empty....probably thinking I'll catch hell for this, but I gotta' get to my stash, and quick.

[tarheelswamprat]

He's either completely cracked or just 'jonesing.'

It could also be a desperate attempt at forcing the feds to provide him with some additional security, because he's afraid of his own municipal personnel.

Consider the possibilities: New Orleans is well-known to be more-or-less controlled by "certain business elements" who prefer a "low profile". Anyone who makes it to the Mayor's office is, shall we say, mighty beholden to those folks, and they in turn "take good care of him".

Now, his incredible incompetence has just cost those nice folks a hell of a lot of money, and unlike our government, those folks demand and enforce "accountability". I believe his fear is justified, but it's not the CIA nor disgruntled constituents he fears.
