Baton Rouge -- New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said Thursday that he has temporarily moved his family to Dallas, where his young daughter is enrolled in school.
The mayor said he went to Dallas last weekend to rent a town home for his family, but he said he had no plans to leave New Orleans.

AP finally catching on to this?
FReepers knew this 4 days ago.
ouch!
Wanted to have them go somewhere where the leadership was better I suppose.
I hope the voters of N.O. make it a permanent move.
translated:
You think I'm going to let my daughter go to "PUBLIC!!!" school with all the riffraff!!! What do you think I do, pretend to represent the poor of New Orleans or something????
It takes them a while to go through all our threads. :)
He evacuated his own family by helicopter on either Friday night or Saturday morning - well before the storm hit and before he told people to leave.
Good move Mr. Mayor... after such wonderful leadership you may need that new home in Dallas.
Good point
"...he said he had no plans to leave New Orleans."
He'll just be taking many trips to other places.
I was expecting this to say they moved into Willam Jefferson's house for some reason rofl.
My theory is that they go to liberal sites and find out the latest thing they are in a tizzy about, then they come to FR to find out the real facts, then they write a story with some facts in it to keep themselves from sounding like total idiots, but they give it enough spin to keep the liberals in a tizzy.
This guy Nagin has done nothing but try to cover his a**. First he "buys" a house, now he's "renting" a house; first he tried to evacuate the city; then he couldn't get Greyhound to send the busses. New day, new CYA.
This probably has nothing to do with anything, but I've noticed while watching interviews of the Mayor on FOX that Nagin is looking anywhere that the FOX camera is not. This guy knows he screwed up big time and knows FOX audience is taking note.

I don't blame him for that. He at least followed his own advice and that of the President.
If only his voters would have listened.
It's OK to evacuate the mayor's family by helicopter, while the old and helpless die in place? I don't think so. He's not just walking away from this.
AKA the great skedaddle. But to his merit, when the calvary showed up and got things under control, he returned to the field of battle to take command. S\
