Maybe Mayor Nagin would like to explain this picture before he and the rest of his democratic fellow travelers continue to blast the fed's.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I suspect Blancl and Nagin will have to answer for this in the not too distant future-- their flailing effort to blame Bush is just odious.

You know what, you're talking to someone who called New Orleans HOME for many years, and I still have relatives who hope to return. I've tried to be polite to you, but you're just either incredibly dense or just determined to be ugly. Some of us are already hurting, and frankly, we can do without your stinking comments. As you seem to be coming from Socialist Central and the state of record for Hollywierd, you've got NO room to talk.

He himself cost countless lives by adopting a wait and see attitude in the days before being hit.

Well, look at the bright side. Nagin did manage to get HIS family evacuated and is quite comfortable criticizing and second guessing efforts safely from Baton Rouge.

Not if Congress gives them a get-out-of-jail-free card. Anyone know if there was anything besides money in that legislation the Senate passed last night?

Nagin said, "God is looking down, and they need to do everything in their power to save people, and they're going to pay the price." Or something close to that.

I can not believe this jerk. Someone get me a direct line to this slime so I can repeat that to his dumb ass, only using past tense.

This is what you get when the Democrat base run a city into the ground-- it is VERY, VERY different from the professionalism and sacrifice of the NYPD and FDNY. Maybe if the NOPD didn't have a residency requirement and a desire to have an all black homeboy police force, this wouldn't have happened.

Ultimately, Blanco will go up for re-election. Does anybody know when that is scheduled to happen. And Nagin will to. If the media was operating on anything approaching honesty, the Democrat Party in Louisiana would go the way of the Whigs.

Whew. Thought I'd get flamed, first, throwing religion in here. LOL! But Nagin's doing it, damnit. LOL.

Says God's looking down, 'they' need to do everyting in their power to save people...'they're' going to pay the price. Brother. Guess he doesn't realize God was watching during the days leading up to the hurricane also and he should have done everything in HIS power to save people. DUH.

OKOKOK. I just had to say it. Maybe God wasn't watching. What in the sam hill do I know. Don't anybody flame me. I'll cry.

b b b but, how DARE he?!

This is from last year, pertaining to Ivan. Notice that only 1100 spent the night in the Superdome then. The airwaves were echoing with dire warnings in 2004, and only 1100 people were protected. New Orleans has never been prepared.

New Orleans Escapes Ivan Thursday, September 16, 2004

"We are ecstatic," said Tansy Jones at the mayor's office. "Rainfall was only two-tenths of an inch."

As the storm headed into the Gulf of Mexico (search), packing winds of 165 miles an hour, the city battened down and the airwaves echoed with dire warnings that this would be the long-dreaded hurricane that would inundate the city with 20 feet of water and leave thousands dead. The traffic jams of fleeing evacuees in stalled bumper-to-bumper traffic stretched all the way the Texas.

Warnings had been so worrisome that officials opened the Superdome for people who had nowhere else to go, and 1,100 spent the night on concourses and in the end zone stands.

THEY DO NOT NO IF THEY WILL HAVE HOME TO COME BACK TO BUT THEY SAFE AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS.
WE HAVE HAD POWER PEOPLE HERE FROM AL, GA, AND PENN. AND I TOLD ALL OF THEM THANK YOU FOR HELPING. THEY HAVE WORKED HERE 24/7. AND THIS IS ONLY IN OUR CITY SO THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE COME TO HELP. WE STILL HAVE LOTS OF PEOPLE HERE WITHOUT POWER OUR OTHER DAUGHTER ( AND HUSBAND)FOR ONE, WHO COME HERE LAST NIGHT TO GET GOOD NIGHT SLEEP.

that there had been a proposal to use school buses. "School buses!" he ranted with disdain, "School buses! Where are the Greyhounds? Why isn't every bus company coming here to rescue these people."

You gotta be $#!++in me. He actually got caught on tape saying that??? He has more dead peoples' blood on his hands than anyone. STUPID SOB, POS.
