First.. Uhh, Mayor? That's the Mississippi, not De Nile. A heavy storm would tax your city, forget about something as big as Katrina. You're a sitting duck for the next five to ten years as engineers try to figure out the problem, and you're lying to people if you tell them any different.

Second, come on. Who in their right mind would leave New Orleans again? If you ducked out of town at the start, odds are you got the shaft from all the freebies. Nope, better to stick it out with an ice cooler and a nice bit of high ground, and then get evacuated by whatever authorities are left. That's a $75,000 difference on average.

And finally, just be glad that there's twenty bozos after your job, because odds are they're going to split the vote from the residents left and you're going to be able to coast in on just the out of town vote. Personally, I think you deserve to be sitting in a jail cell, along with a whole lot of other people.

The LEVEES didn't break!! The CANAL WALLS did!!!

The canals are built and maintained by the city and state levee boards, and their contractors (lots of brother in law deals)
