Paraphrasing -
Nagin is taking on a "folk-hero like status" among people she interviewed in city as to question - who is responsible and who is not.

Anyone here anything about Nagin sending NOLA cops to Vegas?

Poor guys (what's left of them), need a well-deserved break after all of that looting.

I hope it's okay that I started this thread! I've never started a thread before.

Many thanks, and for whatever my word is worth around here, you have my gratitude-- I relied on NN's "Katrina Live Thread" series for my link and news gathering and was disappointed to see them stop. Thank you.

I don't understand why they stopped the Katrina threads. They have on-going threads for a helluva lot less, much less the greatest catastrophe in the history of the US.

And the media is fostering this. It's an attempt to insulate him from the inevitable objective judgment that he failed to evacuate his city.

Too much petty carping and griping. I don't blame NN for throwing up her hands.

I hope Nagin gave 'em a little spending money.

"Who is to blame for response to Katrina Disaster?"

See poll at this site - check out results before they get too skewed.

Oh? Is that what happened? Ahem. I really relied on that thread too. Shame.

... except for this part, which veers off sharply into dreamland:

Hopefully we can focus on news items, and keep the editorializing and ranting to a minimum

"FACT spanking "

Yes, listening/watching right now. The unfortunate thing is that it won't change some of media's "set" minds.
