He was relying on a weather guy's info? For crying out loud.
And when asked why he didn't have a plan to evacuate nursing home patients, Nagin tried to explain it away that they had letters of agreement with the city, schools, etc., but that it was very complex.
House members said basically that he'd known for years New Orleans could get hit with a big storm and why weren't those plans in place PRIOR to the storm and just followed.
Nagin also kept mentioning 9/11 and trying to equate the two. It was a riveting performance in the same way a train wreck is riveting.
