With the election for New Orleans mayor just three days away, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said Wednesday she is not prepared to endorse any candidate in the race. However, the governor had harsh words to say about certain aspects of current Mayor Ray Nagin's job performance.
"He's in a campaign right now and not doing anything but campaigning now, trying to get himself re-elected," Blanco said. She went on to criticize Nagin's understanding of the way the federal government spends recovery money. "The mayor never has understood any of the processes that need to be undertaken in order to get the money into the appropriate hands."
A spokesman for the Nagin campaign did not immediately return email requests for comment. Nagin faces 21 challengers in his re-election bid.
said the Pot.
Ah, nothing like a little Red on Red verbal carnage.
First one Rat turns on another Rat and next thing you know it's a Real Rat Fight!
hehehehehehehehehehehe
These two individuals don't like each other much. They remind each other too much of themselves.
"The mayor never has understood any of the processes that need to be undertaken in order to get the money into the appropriate hands."
Time for Nagin to spill the beans about her conduct on the plane with Bush.
I love it when they eat they're own.
Red on Chocolate perhaps?
under the bus ping !
They despise each other. Nagin has legitimate gripes against Blanco IMHO.
Exactly right!
Is Blanco getting pressure from Mitch to endorse him?
I am sure he has. But everybody has gripes against the mayor, too. Blanco's mouthing off is quite hilarious, however, and a keeper.
Rubbish taking on rubbish. It just made my day better. :)
I love that. Blanco better be very careful here There is a lot more legitimate Nagin complaints can be forth coming against the Gov. And you know what. Nagin is the type to say what is on his mind and damn the political cost. Gov Blanco must have seen some internal numbers in this mayors race or something. I am pretty amazed that she is criticizing someone she might have to make some amends to in the future Gov race.
This is sooooo Clintonesque of the Libs -- in true form -- back stabbing their own when they are trying to save their own miserable losing asses.
Soooo typical.
I expect she would love to see Mitch Landrieu as mayor of NOLA. If he is still LT Gov. he still might challenge her in the primary. Mitch is the biggest potential threat to her having opposition since its clear that Breaux is not running.
Amen, the majority of the blame for Katrina falls squarely on Blank-0s shoulders.
