New Orleans, Louisiana (AHN) - Apparently suffering from stress and a bit of paranoia, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin tells CNN Saturday night that he believes the CIA will "wipe him out" after his criticism of President Bush and the Federal Government in response to Hurricane Katrina.
Mayor Nagin seemed to have calmed down after meeting with President Bush for two hours on Friday but became stressed again over the current situation still unfolding in his city.
The Mayor has come under serious scrutiny and criticism in the last 72 hours after photos of parking lots filled with school buses that were sitting in a foot of water were released on the Internet. Many critics of the Mayor and Gov. Blanco say the buses could have saved an estimated 20,000 people if they had been used for emergency evacuations which President Bush had declared two days before Katrina hit.
Nine stockpiles of fire-and-rescue equipment strategically placed around the country to be used in the event of a catastrophe still have not been pressed into service in New Orleans, CNN reports Saturday night. Responding to a CNN inquiry, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Marc Short said Friday, "The gear has not been moved because none of the governors in the hurricane-ravaged area has requested it."
A federal official says the department's Office for Domestic Preparedness reminded the Louisiana and Mississippi Governors' offices about the stockpiles on Wednesday and Thursday, but neither governor had requested it.
As the picture becomes much more clear many in Congress believe that a total collapse of communications on the local and state level contributed to the catastrophic conditions the city of New Orleans has been under.
"It has become apparent that after President Bush declared the state of Louisiana a state of emergency a few days before the hurricane hit, communication with the White House and FEMA from city officials in New Orleans and the Governor collapsed," says Senator Dr. Bill Frist, who is currently helping victims with medical needs around the city.
"Our priority now is to save as many lives as possible, and things are improving by the hour," adds Frist.
Sure Ray, we're going to move you right to the top of the list right after Chavez.
The CIA's plan is to put the thought in Nagin's head that the CIA is going to wipe him out. Nagin will look for evidence that there are spooks around every corner. Of course there won't be any there. Over time, that will drive Nagin even further around the bend, and sooner or later he will do something so self-destructive that he will effectively be finished. I'd say that's a pretty clever plan! Of course, this plan is super-duper, top secret, eyes only so this info is for Freepers only!
I've been thinking this. From the day it hit the fan, he's only seemed interested in trying to save his own political skin by blaming the Fed.
Moonbat Over Bourbon Street.
"He has probably been smoking crack at both locations.."
That's interesting because I've been thinking to myself these last 3 days, "that guy acts like he's coming off drugs or something". So much paranoia!
"ALL HEADLINE NEWS" BITES THE BIG ONE. I SAW THE MAYOR MAKE THAT STATEMENT ON C-SPAN, IN RESPONSE TO A JOKING QUESTION, AND HE WAS CLEARLY NOT BEING SERIOUS.
--he should contact Oliver Stone. I see a great movie here, probably involving the ghosts of Clay Shaw and David Ferrie---
Dude needs to get Marion Barry as an image consultant.
Is whacking your enemies the way politics is handled in N.O. Nagin-the-non-non-drug-addict?
That's easy! He rounded up all the poor and black residents of New Orleans in BUSES and drove them to the polls. Too bad Katrina didn't arrive on Election Day in New Orleans.
"Come on if you want, but the buses are going to higher ground!"
Even if each only had a driver.
That's still alot of folks safely & economically out of town out of town.
We pay people to think of these things!
I thought of this in a second for free!
He sure knows a think or two about evacuations. Because he CARES for the poor. :D
They're to busy blaming Bush.
I actually heard somebody on CNN blaming "Bush's tax-cuts for the rich" for all the poor people in New Orleans who couldn't evacuate.
And it's his lies about WMD that got all our troops in Iraq and that's why none were able to help in the disaster relief, yada yada yada.
The liberal media is so obsessed with their hatred of Bush that they've become deranged.
Someone should make a movie about this idiot.
