"We were escorted via ambulance by people with hazmat suits to an isolated location," Nagin said. "It's very surreal. It's hard to imagine something like that would happen."

Stick to the Dem Party Nagin, and that’ll happen to you when you disagree with them.

When asked if he ever could have expected something like this to happen to him, Nagin said, "I didn't think Katrina would happen to me. I didn't think a lot of things would happen, but I'm on this journey, and we'll see where it ends."

If the Chinese had waterboarded him during the Quarantine, it would have been just like what he did to NOLA during Katrina...

There are mixed feelings about Nagin on this board apparently.

I’ve heard good things in the past.

He was in Dallas when Katrina hit. What’s he talking about?

Although the bit where he was screaming that the Feds wouldn’t get him buses was “surreal” when “Chocolate City” already had all the buses he needed.

“I didn’t think Katrina would happen to me.”

######

Katrina didn’t happen TO you, Chocolate Racist, it happened largely BECAUSE of you, and an entitlement culture which has absolutely no understanding of self-reliance and personal responsibility.

Not as surreal as the man who, through incompetence, did his best to destroy New Orleans being re-elected.

"It's very surreal. It's hard to imagine something like that would happen."

What a coincidence! Those were my EXACT words when I heard that Mr. Nagin's government thugs were confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

I wish they had "quarantined" his sorry ass in a rural Chinese prison.

“It’s very surreal. It’s hard to imagine something like that would happen.”

Yeah, so were the gun confiscations you ordered, you fascist SOB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm5PC7z79-8 I’m sure that none of the law-abiding homeowners that you had disarmed and hand-cuffed on their own property, for the “crime” of trying to protect that property (which your AWOL police didn’t want to do) felt near as well as you did with the hazmat guys.

I have no sympathy for this scumbag. FURN.
