I hope everyone had an opportunity to read the CNN transcript of the mayor's outrageous claim on CNN yesterday that now that he's criticized the federal government, maybe the CIA will try to off him.

HARRIS: And Fred, we want to play a portion of a new interview that is into CNN. This is an interview with the mayor of New Orleans, C. Ray Nagin, and he is responding to a couple of questions, but we're going to let you hear his response to a question about his efforts to get more assistance, more resources into the city of New Orleans. And take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MAYOR RAY NAGIN, NEW ORLEANS: I keep trying to find resources. We're making calls, we're trying to find resources all across the country. I'm screaming at the -- excuse me -- I'm screaming at the governor and the president, you know? The CIA could come in here any minute and wipe me out. So -- but I'm going to keep doing it, and I'm going to stay here until people are out of here, and this city is safe.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HARRIS: Not quite sure what he means by the CIA could come in here at any minute and wipe me out, but obviously, this is a man under a great deal of stress right now. Just trying to find resources for his city and save as many people as he can. That's the mayor of New Orleans, Fred, C. Ray Nagin.

CNN has reported 200 NOLA police officers have walked off the job... 2 committed suicide.

CNN's Cafferty, at the end of one of his "brilliant" commentaries suggesting the people in NO were not helped enough because they were black, and it was all the Administration's fault, commented that now he'd probably get an IRS audit. He was the first journalist I noticed who played the race card, and that was before Nagin's "emotional outburst".

So--oh goody--we have one guy using a stacked deck, and the other a not quite full one. Dont'cha just love the left?

CNN should change its name to CYA. They are having a difficult time since all their props are turning out to be loons.

They had to hide all the outrageous comments of Cindy and now their hero mayor is proving to be totally insane.

It must hurt to be CNN.

Oh yes, I'm just sure he's screaming at the President. The President took him to the woodshed on Friday on Marine 1. I suspect the President told him to sit down, shut up and hang on - the adults are taking over you bumbling, disgraceful idiot.
