Nagin should show up to the Convention Center. He would be lynched by his constituents.

There are no more constituents. He's a mayor of nothing. He's as out of work as the other 850,000 people in the area.

Sales tax revenues for "No Lawleans" are probably down just a bit...ditto for alcohol taxes and new building permits and traffic tickets and municipal fines.

What do you want to bet that Hurricane Central (unlike nearby Mobile, Atlantic Coast Miami, or Gulf Coast Galveston) has no rainy day fund to handle salaries and expenses from a storm, either?

Reminds me of the dialogue from Jaws:
(Mayor Vaughn): Aug-- August...
(Chief Brody): What? What? What are you talking about? Larry, the summer is over! You're the mayor of shark city! These people think you want the beaches open!
