Hand Ray Nagin A Crying Towel

[Abbey Normal]

I pretty much lost all sympathy for the people of NO when they re-elected Ray Nagin.

Welcome to the board, Linche.

Then explain why this guy felt the most important thing that he could "acquire" from closed stores was beer. Not food. Not first aid supplies. But beer.

Gotta love the can in the back pocket for good measure.

 

[Abbey Normal]

So why should NewOrleans give a crap about what you think? They voted for Nagin, just like we voted for Bush.

What in the hell are you talking about in your 1st and 3rd paragraphs? Are you drunk?

Actually, it was written quite clearly.

I'm sure he was worried that a looter might loot him of his life-saving blue tub.

Do ya think I should start drawing him little storybook pictures? Maybe if I use more smilies.

Not one of us can explain unless we were down there. Just guessing, but maybe he thought this was the apocalypse and wanted to get shit-faced instead of dying with a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread.

Nagin could have fed them all chocolate.

Ok, then explain how his experience in London(if that even classifies as an experience) relates to anything discussed in this thread. You can even draw me a little picture if you think that would help.

BAck to the topic at hand, Nagin is preparing his speech on the one year anniversary of Katrina

It's pretty easy to judge someone when you've never walked in their shoes.

You know, if we can't judge a looter caught on camera with a case of stolen beer, I don't know who the hell we CAN judge.

I haven't seen many of your posts, Chad, but I bet you're the type who has no problem "judging" middle class whites who obey the law, Christians who oppose abortion, successful businesspeople, etc. Liberals, I've noticed, are the most damn judgmental people on Earth. They judge like we breathe.

Ragin' Ray's New York dodge


Challenged by "60 Minutes" on the fact that, a year after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is still a slough of debris and despond, Mayor Ray Nagin responded with a comment that has echoed across the land. "You guys in New York City," said he, "can't get a hole in the ground fixed, and it's five years later. So let's be fair."
Okay, Ray, let's be fair.

Since New Yorkers are perfectly aware of that "hole" and what originally caused it and the abysmal lack of political willpower that leaves it barren unto this day, tell us something we don't know, as America, approaching the one-year Katrina anniversary, calls you and many others to account.

Tell us why you would compare an act of war with - no, not an act of God - but with the scandalous inaction by Louisiana officials that cost lives. It's not as if you had been taken by surprise by the storm and its severity. Or the fact that the levees didn't hold. Or that - well gollee, Gomer - tens of thousands of people rescued from the floodwaters would need shelter, food and water.

Tell us why you didn't order an evacuation until 15 hours before Katrina made landfall and a full 24 hours after at least two Louisiana parishes had so ordered. Tell us why, when shelter - in the Superdome and the Convention Center - proved wholly inadequate, when neither food nor water was being provided, as the bodies of the dead piled up, and as frantic people languished in sweltering heat on highways and byways waiting for someone, anyone, to help them, no one did. Tell us where the buses and ambulances were. Tell us why it took days and days for any semblance of an evacuation to begin.

Yes, yes, yes, Mayor Nagin, you had a governor and a President who were grossly ineffectual, too. We know that. But right now the focus is on you. So tell us, and your citizens, why your city is still such a mess after a full 12 months and the expenditure of untold amounts of money. We're not talking about rebuilding from the ground up. We only want to know why there are still flood-damaged cars in the street.

And, yes, Mayor Nagin, you were given a tough job, an immense job, a job not of your choosing. Things take time. No one expects miracles. And there may be good reasons for today's state of affairs. If so, please explain without seeking refuge in the failures of others - those being failures that we in New York know only too well.

God i can't stand nagin. he was on c-span for a black journalists event and i just wanted to yell out loud. I can only imagine what he's gonna say about Bush. He's probably goona say "Blah,Blah,rasicm, blah,Blah, Bush,Blah,racism,Blah,blah, poor,blah,blah,bush,blah, racism


And his comment about 9/11
I mean how he could compare n.O to 9/11 is beyond me but then again we are talking about nagin.
I feel sorry for bush once monday comes

I'll only pass judgement on things I actually know about. I've never had half my family die and all my property destroyed within the span of a few hours, so I won't judge how the people in NO acted.. I was once Christian, my father is one of those "successful businesspeople", which is why I can pass judgement on those topics.

I did. Do I need to use smaller words for you to understand?
