If he had started the evacuations when the National Hurricane Center had first warned them to do so, he would have had plenty of drivers.

Don't forget, though, that this is a liberal city. So he would have tried to make drivers drive for free. If he'd offered reasonable compensation, for example $15 per head payable at the destination in Houston, you'd see drivers making multiple trips, and stuffing the buses until there was no room left for standees.

Was I the only one watching the progress of the hurricane on the Weather Channel days prior to it making land fall? In fact, didn't we see the progress of that hurricane for over a week? They evidently don't have cable in the Mayor's house!

He flew his own family out on Friday.

That's what isn't being shown to the public by the MSM, and it's unconscionable.

We encouraged people to buddy up, churches to take senior citizens and move them to safety, and a lot of them did. And then we would deal with the remaining people that couldn't or wouldn't leave and try and get them to higher ground until safety came.

Hm...notice how he conveniently threw the burden of evacuation to the churches. He could not find drivers for his buses but it was the responsibility of the churches to get them out. Yeah, right.

This man is merely a front man for La to work deals, schmooze the tourists. He is not a mayor and the people of New Orleans paid for his denial of responsibility.

Wonder where he was during the storm? Drinking with his buddies while people drowned? Wonder why he never thought to get those nursing home people to higher ground?
