New Orleans and Louisiana aren't third world, but fourth world.

CANCUN, Mexico - A massive evacuation of tourists in one of the world's largest resorts began Sunday, as hundreds of buses were dispatched to move tens of thousands of tourists away from Hurricane Emily, heading toward a direct hit on the coast. The very size of the task was daunting: about 500 buses were ordered to move 30,000 tourists in Cancun — part of a total of 70,000 to 80,000 mostly foreign tourists to be evacuated statewide to temporary shelters in ballrooms and convention centers.

Nagin's Navy - yellow submarines.

Ah, yes, Nagin's Navy. How unfortunate for the dems that these pictures exist...

Apparently, Cancun had an evac plan just like New Orleans ... the difference ... Cancun followed theirs.

Not a fair comparison. After all, that is a 2nd world nation, less affluent than the States. And they only had hundreds of buses. You cannot expect a wealthy nation with thousands of buses at their disposal to be able to proactively evacuate people from a known impending disaster. Get real, man.

For Nagin's next election campaign...the opposition should put bus pictures up around town and simply ask...when you need a good bus...who are you going to call?

Cancun Evacuation: Excellent find and a deserved bitch-slap to Nagin and Blanco.
