“When the president and the governor got here, I said, 'Mr. President, Madame Governor, you two have to get in synch. If you don't, more people are going to die.”

That is true. Nagin will never excuse what happened to the buses.

Still, I wonder what the Gov. wanted 24hrs to think about. Bush gave her a couple of unspecified options. What were they?

Until he answers that question, I have a naggin' feelin' Nagin's career is toast.

My best recollection is that not once, in all of the times CNN has had Nagin on air, has Nagin ever spoken in anything but generalities-- about anything. He is so full of fertilizer thatit's coming out his ears, and CNN speaks of him as though he were a hero.

Exactly. I guess Mayor Bling-Bling is too busy pointing fingers to accept any responsibility for his gross failure. This guy needs a swift kick.
