Be fair...the Mayor did tell the people to bring their own food and water. ...for three days!

That's laughable. (I know you're being sarcastic)

If I, as an evacuee, did not have three days worth of food & water stored up at home and did not have a vehicle to get said food & water, how the heck was I going to bring it to the stadium to take care of myself within one day's time?

The Governor should be impeached. I would say recall the mayor of New Orleans...but there's no city to recall him from.

The mayor & governor had no concept of how destitute the people were.

--Hurricanes pass through in a day. This lends one to believe that Nagin was aware that the Levees would likely break and of FEMA guidelines of needing 48-72 hours after a storm to expect direct assistance.
