Ray Nagin is that dude. Son keeps it very real and I'm loving his insight. F the CBC and whomever else with their idle talk. He's down there in his city doing what he can and for that I applaud his efforts to get some support for his city.
I told him we had an incredible crisis here and that his flying over in Air Force One does not do it justice.
Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans."
You know, I'm not one of those drug addicts. I am thinking very clearly.
And I don't know whose problem it is. I don't know whether it's the governor's problem. I don't know whether it's the president's problem, but somebody needs to get their ass on a plane and sit down, the two of them, and figure this out right now.
I don't want to see anybody do anymore goddamn press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences. Don't do another press conference until the resources are in this city. And then come down to this city and stand with us when there are military trucks and troops that we can't even count.

Now that's real talk.

i would like to be the asshole that i am and say that i am not buying all of it.
first of all, if you are mayor of new orleans, you KNOW how the weather is. if you are a politician, hell, if you have a pulse in america, then you know that dubya is the most shiftless fucker in office to date.
if you are mayor and your infrastructure is so jacked up that when an emergency comes it wipes out your WHOLE ENTIRE CITY, then that's your fault. you admit to funding the iraqi war...i don't have the words for that, since i got activated 3 times off the strength of that.
i feel sorry for those people, i do, but for real, he needs to take some responsibility. yelling at the governor and pointing fingers is not gonna cut it.
i think he took a lot of and took a lot of hits on his chin. but the extent of the impact far outweighed what he or his city's resources could muster. the city was what it was...a risk.
