Hey, Nagin found himself in the midst of a clusterfock that he helped to create. It's a miracle that 80% of his citizens were evacuated before the storm--thanks to Bush's early disaster proclamation and urging to evacuate. For him to throw an unprofessional hissy fit is inexcusable. He started off by openly endorsing looting, thus delaying the import of needed humanitarian supplies and evacuation of survivors. He ought to know better about the chain of command than to start publically blaming Bush. A manly leader would have admitted he was out of his league and asked the governor (which would have been an exercise in futility in this case) or the president to take over.
