You get what you vote for.
How does a light weight flake like Nagin get elected mayor of a big city?
"And I'll tell you, man, I'm probably going get in a whole bunch of trouble. I'm probably going to get in so much trouble it ain't even funny. You probably won't even want to deal with me after this interview is over."
We can only hope.
Your right, and that is the wisdom of th ages.
Squandered his own resources and then whines because the feds didn't bail him out.
" I need reinforcements, I need troops, man. I need 500 buses, man. We ain't talking about -- you know, one of the briefings we had, they were talking about getting public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out here."
New Orleans' Mayor C. Ray Nagin's Interview on WWL-AM, September 2, 2005
Build their gallows high
Because he was elected on his color and race, and not on his ability to govern or run a city.

You need only read from page 7 to about 16 to see who is responsible for this mess. It is the Parish Presidents and the other local and state elected officials.
Do not blame anyone until you read this!!!
Typical Liberal Democrat.
No, of course not...
I cannot believe the biggest disaster to ever hit the United States is turning into a blame game. There will be plenty of time for that later. Everyone just needs to do whatever is necessary to start making things better and it seems things are improving. I just keep thinking how we look to the rest of the world. We need a strong and united front.
When morons are allowed to vote, they elect fools -- or worse..
Semper Fi
"How does a light weight flake like Nagin get elected mayor of a big city?"
My friend, a former, thank the good Lord, resident of NO, told me it was because Morial tried some shifty move to get himself, and ONLY himself, unlimited terms. So folks went for Nagin in disgust.
Well, he and Blanco have proved themselves great failures. He sounds like a complete hysteric in this interview.
I think he was asking for GAYhounds...
I hope the nation learns from this.
Much truth.
