No..he was called in after the drowning and did a respectable job of a bad situation. (I'm from Louisiana, and have relatives in New Orleans). I suspect you are recalling the New Orleans mayor (whose name I forget, and too lazy to look up) at the time.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (of Katrina infamy):
Thank you, immensely, Mr. Warthog, World famous crime fighter.
I’m distressed my recall is so poor and that I may have smeared a good man. I’m glad to be set straight.
Burns me to be wrong about such a thing.
I’m sure you’re correct about mixing up the General and Mayor.
Associative memory has helped me out of many a jam, such as finding my errant coffee cup or eyeglasses, but it’s not always a reliable ally ... )
Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco !
Whoo boy.
Didn’t this joker (Honore) take guns away from all New Orleans residents?
Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagan. Him and that idiot Governor Blanco are the ones with the blood on their hands over the Katrina mess.
