If this is not the ultimate rope to hang Ray Nagin, I don't know what is. No wonder he looked like looked like he had just swallowed poison in his news conference when he finally announced the mandatory evacuation.
DVDs???? Poor people don't have DVD players. Old people sure as hell don't have them. (My 80-year-old parents, who are not poor, do not even have a VHS player, nor do they want one.) And THEY DO NOT HAVE CARS.
Bottom line, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority has almost 400 buses. They can hold 40-50 people each. That's 16-20,000 per trip. If those buses had taken just 5 trips on Saturday and Sunday to Baton Rouge, they could have moved close to 100,000 people. And that doesn't even count the school buses. And God knows they could have at least moved the damn things to high ground so they could have been used to get all those folks away from the Superdome and Convention Center.
Much blood is on these people's hands.
They have really screwed the pooch on this one. None too soon either. Liberalism is a virulent cancer upon our society.
