Has anyone else been haunted by the fact that Mayor Ray Nagin is still in power as Mayor of New Orleans?

With Gustav chasing him and his cronies down, his crooked corrupt cohorts that were caught hoarding the emergency supplies in the Katrina aftermath still in tow you have to wonder how he will perform.

Of course he blamed Katrina all on Bush. And this after the Bush administration had repeatedly attempted to send help up to three days prior to Katrina's arrival.

Louisiana voters took care of their incompetent former Governor - electing Bobby Jindal - who has notably worked COOPERATIVELY with the feds this time around - but that doesn't change the scenario in New Orleans. There - the insane voters re-elected Nagin (likely through strong-arm tactics and outright cheating) even though he was personally responsible for the deaths of 1300 people in Katrina's wake.

The New Orleans Evacuation Emergency Plan which was put into place long before Nagin came to power states that the mayor and his staff shall use every public vehicle available to rescue and evacuate citizens who can not get out otherwise.

Mayor Nagin had 2000 school buses that remained locked prior to Katrina's arrival and once the levies began to break they were rendered useless.

Slightly more than 1300 people died, 2000 buses unused and ruined by the floods.

Ray Nagin of course built his national standing through his racist, ugly, and untoward remarks about the National Guard who came in and finally began to help those the mayor couldn't, and he was launched into the inner circles of the "civil rights" communities for launching baseless, and patently false accusations against the President. Accusations that were later proven to be untrue when then Governor Blanco's e-mail archives were made public.

Our hearts and prayers are with the people of New Orleans, we pray that the people there are able to get out ahead of time. We even pray that the incompetent, criminal, and racist mayor will attempt to do what is right this time.

After all New Orleans doesn't deserve to lose another 1300 residents only because of one man's negligent, reckless, or criminal ignorance of the laws he is charged to enforce.
