"The lack of leadership is astonishing."
Yes, it really is. Both Nagin & Blanco can plan on not being re-elected. It's a complete disgrace. The looting, etc. there is no excuse for that at all. The "failure to execute" the fix to the levee, what the heck is that all about?
I think Rudi Giuliani better get down there stat and take over. There seems to be no plan, no chain of command, no nothing. The idea that cops were looting is a sin, just a sin.
It's not a sin, just the Big Easy... [just kidding, of course -- someone else posted that it is to be expected in the Big Easy -- the cops looting]
Blanco's a shoo-in. Bank on it.

"The idea that cops were looting is a sin, just a sin."
I read that some emergency services personnel were confiscating food, warm cloting, and simple medical supplies out of stores to distribute them to those in need. I hope the stories of Police looting turn out to be cases like that.
