“Mayor Nagin high-tailed it out of New Orleans as Katrina was reaching land fall. “
—
I thought he stayed in the city in a fancy hotel during the storm. Upper floor,of course.
.
He highjacked a Marine humvee to take him to his house to collect some ‘laptops’ which got stuck in the mud, and called for another, not sure if he ever retrieved his ‘laptops’ (cash from freezer probably) or not.
Thanks for reminding me. Right, he went to an upscale hotel and rode out the storm. Still, I believe I read something about him moving away immediately after. Always glad to be corrected.
Still, what did the Mayor or Governor do for the citizens of New Orleans? All Governor Blanco had to do is has her staff draw up a letter of request to the fedgov for various assistance. She didn't to such even after Bush asked her to as the storm was still 2 days out. Nagin, well, Nagin was a pathetic man/child that no one expected anything from. He proved himself true to form. What a punk.
Not surprisingly, both have disappeared from the political scene. Good riddance. And if I see ANY revisionist hollywood crap on the Katrina 10th Anniversary show, I will email and probably call everyone involved. I rarely do that.
