New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin blasted the slow pace of federal and state relief efforts in an expletive-laced interview with local radio station WWL-AM.
The following is a transcript of WWL correspondent Garland Robinette's interview with Nagin on Thursday night. Robinette asked the mayor about his conversation with President Bush:
NAGIN: I told him we had an incredible crisis here and that his flying over in Air Force One does not do it justice. And that I have been all around this city, and I am very frustrated because we are not able to marshal resources and we're outmanned in just about every respect. (Listen to the mayor express his frustration in this video -- 12:09)
You know the reason why the looters got out of control? Because we had most of our resources saving people, thousands of people that were stuck in attics, man, old ladies. ... You pull off the doggone ventilator vent and you look down there and they're standing in there in water up to their freaking necks.
And they don't have a clue what's going on down here. They flew down here one time two days after the doggone event was over with TV cameras, AP reporters, all kind of goddamn -- excuse my French everybody in America, but I am pissed.

2 excellent Christian relief organizations:
Southern Baptist's NAMB: http://www.namb.net/
Samaritan's Purse: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/
Give him a mask and fins and send him to work.
The mayor doesn't want to accept blame for his horrendous leadership, along with the LA governor, so he is trying to shift the focus to President Bush, who should just take charge, federalize the effort, and push this moron and Governor nutjob lady out of the way...
Mayor Nagin had been making some sounds about running for Congress soon. Guess he can kiss the Governor's endorsement goodbye.
Keep digging mayor ...
What happens when a corrupt, socialist mayor hits a hard reality...
The Face of Incompetence
This is what happens when you elect them....
The wind blew, the shi'ite flew, and there stood that idio, Nagin!
Remember Rudy G's profanity laced tirades against the Feds, the state, the media, etc during and after the 911 crisis?
Neither do I. :-)
"You know the reason why the looters got out of control? Because we had most of our resources saving people, thousands of people that were stuck in attics, man, old ladies. ... You pull off the doggone ventilator vent and you look down there and they're standing in there in water up to their freaking necks. "
And why are the thousands of people stuck, Mr. Mayor? Could it be because you issued a mandatory evacuation order and then didn't provide means of evacuating?
He's in full CYA mode.
'Get off your asses'
And my response, if I were a Federal Investigator:
"We have yet to get on YOUR ass, Mayor Nagin."
Mr Mayor,
Kindly stick your head back up your a** where it was before the storm and simply STFU.
Thanks.
I'm gagging here. Nagin makes me want to vomit.
He needed to get off his own ass about a freaken week ago.
"Mayor to feds: 'Get off your asses'"
and cover mine...
Wow...he DOES look like a punk-ass gangbanger! Yikes!
Yeah - it's called "projection;" putting your responsibility on someone else and then blaming them for not getting it done; happens every day in corporate America!
