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.
Bush certainly doesn't get a pass if he happens to crack a joke in front of a camera.
If either Nagin or Blanco die of anything other than natural causes it won't be the CIA that does the deed but the Democrat party for their actions in public being so inept to the point of being beyond felonious stupidity. I will repeat: If mayor Nagin or Gov.Blanco die from anything other than natural causes it will be due to actions of fellow Democrats.
Mayor Nagin
it is spelled
P A R A N O I A
Oh for heaven's sakes. He should get a grip and grow up. This man has no business in his positiion as Mayor nor does blanco in her position as Governor and after little mary's outburst about punching the president ...she has no business ANYWHERE in ANY position of leader.
dang it you beat me to make a poster....
Daily KOS is admitting the blame that incompetents Blotto and Nagin rightly deserve must be shifted to Bush
ROTFLMAO! Excellent!
Has anyone else reported Nagin's latest comments on CNN where they asked what his agenda was for today? He was going to meet with someof his policmen and firefighters who are in need of psychological help and get them out of NO. He said, "hotels are an issue so I'm looking at someplace like Las Vegas where there are plenty of hotels, but I have to get them out of here."
My next thought was I wonder what they are taking with them that they need to get out of state...particulary Las Vegas! I hope the new media follows some of them. The CNN anchor made no comment about his comments.
LOL....
fyi
"Dude needs to get Marion Barry as an image consultant"
Funny you should say that. I was just thinking of the similarities between these two corrupt idiots when Nagin made the "I'm going to look into it and heads will roll!" comment ol' Marion used to say at nearly every press conference.
No kidding - that crack-addict Marion Barry was a more effective mayor than Nagin every could be - and that is a truly sad statement.
The cradle to the grave bunch elected the imbecile.
Amazing...just amazing.
Yeah---right.
So he and a handpicked set of his lawmen are now going to head off for a trip to Vegas ?
You just can't make this stuff up.
