Don't you love that "that's the question". See 10:20 pm.
Nagin is ignoring the primary question and his culpability:
Would fewer people have died if you [Nagin] and your local officials had done your job?
From WWL.

10:23 P.M. - CBS News — Watch '60 Minutes' interview with Mayor Ray Nagin
10:21 P.M. - Nagin told '60 Minutes' that he did not unload on President Bush during his visit to New Orleans, like he did earlier this week on WWL Radio. The president did acknowledge, however, that federal response could have been better, Nagin said.
10:20 P.M. - Nagin on '60 Minutes' - "Did more people die because of the storm or because of the lack of response? That's the question."
10:19 P.M. - Mayor Ray Nagin on CBS' '60 Minutes' - "I watched a guy jump from the Superdome yesterday ... We've had two police officers commit suicide. ... This is hell."
Why does Mayor Nagin have time to do a 60minutes TV show in the midst of all this.
Mayor Ray has such a guilty conscience as does Gov Blanco and the only thing that will put their mind at ease is if they can successfully transfer blame to the Federal Authorities and Bush and actually beleive it. The media is doing its best to help them in this effort.
