The FEDERAL government should declare martial law (not thelocal govt), and get those two wothless RATs out of the picture. Either that, or draft Rudi Guliani or some clear thinking non-RAT to run things.
Well, I don't think the Feds should do something so drastic. For better or for worse, the folks in NO and Louisiana are being treated fairly: that is, they are getting the leadership they selected and therefore deserve.
If Nagin and Blanco ask for help from the Feds, they feds should do anything they can to help. Rudy isn't a secret weapon and need not be carted out.
Nagin & Blanco's unimpressiveness hasn't anything to do with being democrats, and it has everything to do with them being poor leaders in a crisis. Plenty of dems are fine in a crisis. It's not a partisan issues.
It's personal: Nagin and Blanco don't personally have what it takes.
