Live conference...

[pollyannaish]

I agree with your description of the tone of Nagin's criticism. He has not been part of the machine that went after the President and has been particularly hard on Blanco.

That said, the man was NOT effective and I think he was not up to the task before him. I actually think it is very possible that he did NOT know about this police stuff. But that is also a different issue.

the person doing the tackling in that old lady was a California Highway Patrolman...that was stopped right after the footage aired.

[Shermy]

"The best I could say for this guy was that he was totally incompetent."

I agree. Really, these people should hire press spokespeople. Blanco used them, saved most of her appearances for hugging photo-ops.

[Peach]

Any word on how many fake cops they had on the payroll? It's all coming together, isn't it?

[JFC]

That is what Hannity said on his radio show. Nagin met with Farrakan in Dallas and suggested that the levees were blown up..... I know Nagin is not smart enough to come up with this on his own.... Someone else has put him up to this and is using him... imho. Nagin is just a stupid idiot and can not even hold a legitmate news conf.

[hollybeth]

C'mon. You can't leave out Farrakan or however it's spelled. After all, most of this is blamed on white people by him almost up to the hurricane itself. What I'd like to know is why Jesse Jackson doesn't come equipped with a volume control knob so that when all the idiocy begins to pour from his mouth he can't be turned down so sane people don't have to hear him !

[UCANSEE2]

The mayor was brought in to route the corruption.

Why does anyone think there were not be a massive effort to HIDE the truth from him.

EVERYONE KNEW what he was there for.

Nagin is 'more' than just a mayor.

The truth will be revealed when it is time.

[cajungirl]

I saw that, the Pres scraping Blanco off his shoe and walking away,,I died laughing.

[AliVeritas]

They've probably had so many jailed and arrested on insurance fraud down there... they probably lead the nation. Hey... I have a lot more digging to do.

[freeangel]

Perhaps he was embarrassed by the fact that the Houston PD had plenty of officers on the street with Rita to prevent the kinds of things that happened in NO?

[SE Mom]

This is simply beyond comprehension. (If accurate)

I was listening to the Brown hearing this AM so missed Tony. Did he say this info was from an FBI source? How did he present his sourcing?

[oceanview]

some good news here. we've got to generate some disdain amongst the sheeple for the goings on in Lousiana regarding corruption et al. its the only way to save ourselves 250 billion dollars, and retain a shred of fiscal responsibility. hopefully Delay and Hastert are watching this - DON'T APPROVE ANY NEW RELIEF MONEY.

[pollyannaish]

LOL. That is priceless. This is not a man predisposed to snubbing. But then, he is also not a man impressed by empty flatteries.

I didn't see it, but just a thought of this makes me smile so big I can hardly stand it.

[ken5050]

true..everyone in the top of the NOLAPD has to be involved, or complicit..

[AliVeritas]

I couldn't make out what Farrakhan was saying... that divers had something in their suits?

But I did hear that Nagin never told him about a bomb, he said a crater was there.

Yep, it's moonbat season alright.

[RobFromGa]

It's felony diversion of federal funds by putting phantom cops on the payroll.

Hi Laz. For those of us checking in late to this story, what are the allegations, and what is the evidence at this point?

[b4its2late]

It's all coming together, isn't it?

And falling apart, depending on what side of the isle you're on.... ;-)

[AliVeritas]

LOL

[Mike Darancette]

Why would he know of it in the first place?

Do you really believe that Nagin didn't want to wet his beak a little?
