Nagin: Failed New Orleans School System to Blame for Body Miscounts
Chron Watch ^ | 9/20/05 | Jeremy Robb

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana --- The initial claims by New Orleans and Louisiana officials that tens of thousands of people were killed by Hurricane Katrina are apparently off by tens of thousands. When asked to explain such a huge discrepancy, Mayor Nagin of New Orleans blamed the failed school system that was destroyed by the Bush Administration.

"If the school system here wasn't such a failure, then maybe our officials could count better," said Nagin. "Bush and his Administration destroyed our public school system by lowering taxes and passing No Child Left Behind. I even had trouble counting the number of buses we had available to evacuate people. Imagine my shock when I discovered dozens of buses under water that could have been used for evacuation. I only counted three. Bush has destroyed education in this country, and in New Orleans in particular."

When asked how the education system was destroyed by Bush years prior to his election, Nagin was adamant that Bush was at fault. "I can't answer that question, and that's Bush's fault," said Nagin. "Had Bush not been elected, I'd have an answer to that question. He's a racist, a liar, and a failure."

Perhaps they were counting all those dead voters who put Nagin and Blanco in office.

LOL - the newsies are so crazy and biased nowadays it can be a real challenge to tell reality from satire.

I think back-to-back defeats in 2002 and 2004 really sent them around the bend.

Given what Nagin has said already, don't be so sure!

I suppose this is a parody, but it sounds exactly like the Demagogues do every day, so how are we supposed to know what's real and what's parody anymore??????

When Farrakan says whites blew up the levies to drown black people and Al and Jesse say there are all kinds of other racist conspiracies at work, and Mayor Nagin blames everyone but himself..... it's hard to go beyond the self-parodies of these 'Rats......

It's really sad that it wouldn't totally shock me if Nagin, or any other democrat or member of the news media, actually said this.

Know what's sad? Based on what he's said and done so far, I can easily be convinced he really said this.

This MUST be satire. It's much too rational for Mayor Nagin.

I realize this is satire, but I believe Nagan is just that dumb.

I thought Bush just blew up the levee. Did he blow up the schools too?

Maybe we should see if Halliburton can rebuild the schools?
