I have a feeling that before this is over we're going to see some Louisiana officeholders cuffed up and sitting in a courtroom.

This bathroom argument is nonsense. All they had to do was get them a couple of hours north to shelters.
How much aviation fuel have we burned up rescuing people so far?

Or suffer the indignity of being raped or murdered in the superdome. Not to mention living with feces and urine everywhere after the toilets all failed.
But ride a freaking school bus? Oh, the humanity.

En fuego, BillyBob!
A very well-written post.

Personally, Mayor Nagin's body count will be the closer figure. A lot of bodies will be found in flooded houses. Besides his "radio rant" where has Nagin been all this time. He's a far cry from the leadership that Guilliani showed in New York in the wake of 9/11.
To: Congressman Billybob
Yes,
our elected SHOULD be held personally responsible.
I think they should be personally liable for wasteful spending too.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said in an obscenity-laced tirade on WWL radio last Thursday that the federal government should have sent Greyhound buses to evacuate his city. He said school buses were inadequate because they lack bathrooms. Im sure the little girl who was raped and killed at the convention center could have delt without a bathroom for the few hour drive to BRLA

Besides the criminal charges you suggest, I would suspect there would be a "class action" civil suit against the mayor and governor for the same charges of gross negligence causing death for 1,000's. Get a jury of their peers who went thru this and it will detroy mayor Nagin and governor Blanco.
To: thecabal
Yea. The superdome had bathrooms too. And a lot of good they did. Nagin's a moron.

Ummm. Mayor? How would the busses get there? The contra-flow system was in place. No busses could come into N.O.

New Orleans Public Schools just admitted they put their employees ahead of NO citizens
email response from Alvarez and Marsal | Sept 08, 2005 | Taxrelief
Posted on 09/08/2005 11:36:07 AM PDT by TaxRelief
I sent an email to Alvarez and Marsal (business managers of New Orleans Public Schools) and asked them why they did not make the school buses available to evacuate the citizens of New Orleans.
Their answer:
Thank you for your question. School buses were not used as all the NOPS transportation employees were also individuals who evacuated the city. Thanks.
The answer is cryptic, but to the point.

(What a mess.)
To: ping jockey
None of the private cars used for the evacuation had bathrooms in them either but I didn't see Nagin calling for limos with portapotties to replace those....
Nagin is a corrupt fool who is at least guilty of criminally negligent homicide.

Especially when you consider the fact that the Governor's incompetence left many of those evacuating in private cars stuck in gridlock for as much as 17 hours.

At least he didn't say the feds should have sent 747's.... Stop helping him with suggestions!
To: frogjerk
I thoroughly agree that the final body count will probably be less than 10,000 in New Orleans. That is Nagin's number, as I say. So, I used it. I was clear at the end of my article that he should be charges with as many deaths as are known, and the prosecutor can add more as they become known. I have huge doubts that there is a prosecutor in Louisiana who will bring such charges.
And if charges are brought, the punishment will be no different for 2,439 deaths as for 10,000 deaths. John / Billybob
