Sound wisdom has two sides. Whenever the New Orleans Mayor speaks, you have to get the 'other side' if you want to determine the truth. Case in point - turns out that over 2000 school busses in New Orleans could have been used to evacuate citizens -but were not -because the Mayor vetoed the proposal in favor of obtaining more plush Greyhound busses. You can't make it up! What else is this guy hiding that's going to come out?

Someone needs to vote Nagin's ass out off office.

Maybe it was more practical than that. His drivers had boogied out of town when he moved his feets to Baton Rouge ahead of the storm. I bet they would not let non-union drivers do it either. The plan was to use those busses but I bet noone told the drivers or put it in their contracts. Anyone with access to those sorts of labor agreements?

The other day in an interview, Nagin excused the criminals who were robbing drugs from pharmacies, because he said it was understandable that they had to feed their habits. Then he added that he was not high on drugs himself.
I wonder. I suspect this guy has probably fried his brains, and that's one reason why he is so totally out of it. Great mayor!

I don't think Mayor Nagin could close an umbrella. mUch less open one. What a bonehead.

Someone needs to vote Nagin's ass out off office. He needs to face charges for criminal malfeasance.

No one federal dime until Nagin passes urinalysis.

"turns out that over 2000 school busses in New Orleans.."
I can't believe that figure. Sure you don't mean 200?

The most corrupt, incompetent, city-destroying Mayor in the USA (and that includes Detroit!)
To: Enterprise
Vote him out of office? Hell, he's gonna be lucky they don't string him up. Or if they don't, the scrutiny that is just now beginning, is gonna make him wish he had been strung up.

He must have thought HE was going to have to ride on the buses.

Funny thing is that even here on FR a lot of us thought Nagin was a decent, "DINO" conservative Dem back in '02. He may be on the individual issues but he's still a race-baiting, whining, incompetent fool.

What makes him think he has a right to demand and commandeer the buses belonging to Greyhound. He not only thinks the federal government has to come in and do what the city was supposed to do for itself, he thinks he has a right to demand that private citizens do for New Orleaneans.
To: atomicpossum
This is actually a very useful defense (for sanity) from this useless idiot. Sure, that plays. A Cat-5 storm is baring down on you and the buses, 1 mile away, don't provide the right comfort level that the upscale Greyhounds do. Let him (and the MSM) stay with that defense.

There was his very strange comment during the interview wherein he proclaimed "i am not a drug addict". WTH did a mayor have to say that for...?
To: Birdstrike
WOW! Just wow.....
Ever notice how little we hear about the people in Mississippi? They got the worst of the storm....
The difference in leadership between La and Miss is startling! Disturbing even....
