Nagin may be right about Blanco - but can anyone tell me what this guy has done since the whole mess, except complain and blame others?

[Salvation]

Naggin Nagin is at it again.

[concerned about politics]

After days of blaming the federal officials for not responding quickly enough to the Hurricane Katrina crisis, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin praised President Bush on Monday - and charged that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco had delayed federal rescue efforts by 24-hours.

Nagin knows which side to be on, and he's taking it. He knows the truth will come out in the wash, and it's not Bush that's going to take the hit. Thank God Bush came in to save those people from their own governor. God bless him.

"I'm so happy that the president came down here," Nagin said of Bush's Friday visit

Nagin's looking for cover under Bush's coattail. Nagin knows the Governor screwed up. Nagin knows he screwed up. Now, he is trying to shed blame to the Governor, so as to cover up his own screw up.

Neither Mayor Nagin nor Governor Blanco have much to be proud of since the hurricane threat began. Both showed gross negligence, ineptitude and incompetence. Both should be removed from office by the LA voters.

[Mike Darancette]

I'll bet Nagin wishes he remained a Republican.

[Paradox]

Anyone post this on DemocraticUndergound? They were ready to have Nagin run for President.. wonder what they would think now...

[billnaz]

If the RAT mayor is turning on the RAT governor, you know a whole lot of gumbo is about to hit the fan.

[SideoutFred]

24 hours for what?

[CarryaBigStick]

I wonder if General Honore had a little chat with Mayor Nagin.

[wardaddy]

Boy...his crude language would be better served privately.

[Prince Charles]

"I'm so happy that the president came down here," Nagin said of Bush's Friday visit to Louisiana in an interview with CNN. "He came down and saw it, and he put a general on the field. His name is General Honore. And when he hit the field, we started to see action."

But Nagin had harsh words for his state's leaders, telling CNN: "What the state was doing, I don't frigging know. But I tell you, I am pissed. It wasn't adequate." The New Orleans Democrat said he urged Bush to meet privately with Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco during the visit. The meeting took place aboard Air Force One, he said.

After reviewing the crisis with Gov. Blanco, Bush summoned Nagin for a private chat - where, according to Nagin, Bush explained: "Mr. Mayor, I offered two options to the governor. I said . . . I was ready to move today. The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision."

Blanco should be impeached, and then indicted.

YOWZA!!!

"The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision."

The LA governorette has been the MAJOR roadblock to relief efforts.

Look for the media to finally start pointing this fact out.

Here is the actual transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/05/ltm.01.html

[F.J. Mitchell]

How come you didn't use those thousands of buses we see sitting in water up to their windows, to evacuate your citizens to Arkansas or Missouri, in the week you had after being warned, Mayor Nagin? Did the Governor take your switch keys away?

[alaskamomma]

Oh boy, now their going to go after each other. This should get interesting... I'll predict Blanco, ko's the mayor, in the 4th round..

[nodumbblonde]

Ping for later.
