New Orleans, Louisiana (AHN) - Apparently suffering from stress and a bit of paranoia, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin tells CNN Saturday night that he believes the CIA will "wipe him out" after his criticism of President Bush and the Federal Government in response to Hurricane Katrina.
Mayor Nagin seemed to have calmed down after meeting with President Bush for two hours on Friday but became stressed again over the current situation still unfolding in his city.
The Mayor has come under serious scrutiny and criticism in the last 72 hours after photos of parking lots filled with school buses that were sitting in a foot of water were released on the Internet. Many critics of the Mayor and Gov. Blanco say the buses could have saved an estimated 20,000 people if they had been used for emergency evacuations which President Bush had declared two days before Katrina hit.

This man is a damn fool.
Might not be necessary. There's not much of New Orleans left to be mayor of.
Anti-Nagin Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
"CIA will wipe me out."
Naaah, Katrina already did that.
Prayers for ALL !
Thanks. What was the question by the reporter BTW?
Hah..that guy was already booted.
Perfect!
Resume: Ray Nagin
Last Job: Mayor of New Orleans, LA
Accomplishments: City no longer exists. When a strong Category 4 hurricane struck 20 miles east of the city, I failed to heed the President's urging to order a mandatory evactuation two days before it made landfall. I waited until less than 24 hours before it came ashore. Though my city had an emergency evacuation plan, I did not implement it, even after the hurricane had departed and the levies had not yet broken. I was unable to stop gangs of thugs and looters ransacking the city's stores. However, if President Bush had signed the Kyoto treaty, the hurricane wouldn't have occurred, so none of this was my fault.
I'm swiping your photo. Sorry. (Right Click).
I agree. They're going to be relevant for many months.
Yet, but the poor civil servants (such as NOPD) had WET FEET.

Jeez, cross the bridge you idiots!
He won't need the CIA to wipe him out after Lt. Gen. Honore gets through with his narrow Black butt.
We need to keep the heat on the Mayor and Governor.
Keep emailing the photos of the buses to the MSM and demand them to get answers!!!
I think the tide could be turning.
Ditto.
Send it to DU...
Addendum: Oversaw reclamation of dozens of square miles of urban blight to pristine wetland. Seeking position with little responsiblity and high pay, preferably out of the wind.
Mayor Nagin: The Mayor who didn't know enough to bring his city out of the rain.
Save the CIA's time and ammunition.
Just do it yourself.
After all.....it was your ineptitude that killed an unknown number of your constituents.
Worthless protein bag of water.
This guy sure thinks waaaaay too much of himself.
Pat Robertson says "Well if he keeps on saying the CIA is going to knock him off then maybe..........."
Chavez meanwhile offers him sancturary and a Public Relations gig.
Will someone explain why Blanco had time for this but not time to get the buses outside the Dome (one mile away)?
