I am really dumb-founded by Nagin's attitude at the moment. The last three weeks have been an enormous learning curve for thousands of people- how did he escape this curve?
Rita is in legitimate play. The Army Corps of Eng says the levee's are no longer up to a cat 3- what is this guy THINKING? Even if NOLA escapes a DIRECT hit - as it did with Katrina (remember it came in east of NOLA) the rain and possible surge etc can prove disasterous.
What's the matter with the mayor?
He's trying frantically to show that he is in control. Meanwhile, I am trying to locate Nagin's quote from this morning where he made the snarky comment about Thad Allen being mayor by ordination or something like that. Was driving at the time, so I couldn't write it down. Heard it on ABC radio news.
The mayor is "stuck on stupid". And he's mad, because he thinks Vice Admiral Thad Allen has crowned himself the Federal Mayor of New Orleans.
I kid you not, he said that about the man that's running the effort to clean up nagin's city. I think he's extremely arrogant and very ungrateful.
