MAYOR CRITICIZED EVEN BEFORE LEVY BREAK. National Hurricane Center Director had to call Nagin at home Saturday night to plead: "Get people out of New Orleans." "The criticisms of Nagin came from above as well. Numerous officials urged him to evacuate the city, but he worried about the legality of ordering people out when New Orleans has few safe hurricane shelters. Also, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield in Miami called Nagin at home Saturday night and told him: Get people out of New Orleans.
''I could never sleep if I felt like I didn't do everything that I could to impress upon people the gravity of the situation,'' Mayfield said. ``New Orleans is never going to be the same.''
When a grim Nagin issued the mandatory evacuation order Sunday, he said: ``We are facing a storm that most of us have feared . . . God bless us.''

Fools elect Idiots
You know what? Just hot wire the buses, and steal them, steal them all. If I hear one more deflective legalism, I think I will go postal. Without luck each and every one not on one of those buses not used out, would have been dead, DEAD. When that happens, you throw the statutes into dust pin. I hope I have made that clear. God created waste baskets for a reason.
Hearing all about the fleet of busses, turned submarines by the flooding: were the interstates jammed with evacuees up until the 175 mph winds hit? If yes, this would leave little room for a fleet of busses to make their departure. On the other hand, if the interstate traffic petered down to a few stragglers prior to the full brunt of the storm, its all the more damning for the mayor.
Roger that, DTOM888!!!
very, very important.
The RATs will try to overpower us,
And try, and try, and try.
We must not let the RATs use this argument.
Exactly, they're going to try to do to #43 what they did to #41 over Hurricane Andrew. And that helped give us Clinton. The hurricane is over but the PR war has just begun.

Well for your education it is "buses" and President Bush told him to start the evacuation well before the hurricane hit land.
Wow... I need some coffee...
ping-a-ling for later
Thanks! Done. I love it.
People who are registered at the Philly.com site need to keep complete copies of this article on their hard drives.... this is just the sort of article that the MSM would love to make 'disappear' since it does not fit their Bush-bashing agenda. Also, can folks email the complete text to various receptive new commentators, etc.?
That's why I think we need to take someone with us if an evacuation called for again. Put granny in the Walmarts buggy and vamos.
bump
:D thanks.
Unbelievable! How incompetent he has proved himself to be.

More of this news needs to come out to beat back the slanderous "big lie" being promoted by the enraged-at-being-out-of-power, racist Democrats.
