Nagin again

[horst]

I dont like a lot of what hes done but I gotta wonder if this countries become so sensitive that he should have to publicly apologize for making a comparison between NY and New Orleans.

During a “60 minutes” interview, a CBS correspondent pointed out flood-damaged cars still on the streets of New Orleans’ devastated Ninth Ward. Nagin replied, “You guys in New York can’t get a hole in the ground fixed, and it’s five years later. So let’s be fair,” according to CBS.

seems like a pretty fair comparison to me given the amount of time that both cities have had to rebuild

Re: Nagin again

Yeah, this guy's an idiot, but what he said didn't really sound that offensive. He was just replying to what that reporter said. It wasn't like he called a press conference to make this statement. And it wasn't something he just made up either. It really HAS been 5 yrs and they haven't done anything at the WTC site.

I wouldn't want the nasty job of cleaning up an ENTIRE city.

Not a fan of Nagin at all, but this was trivial.

Re: Nagin again

Saw that too Chris, and thought it was really a cheap shot in my opinion, really not out of character for him though after watching him carrying on last year. He is a complete idiot. Dont know how he has managed to stay in his position.

Re: Nagin again

he's just excusing bad behavior. paivate enterprise wanted to clean out the cars 10 months ago, but nagin wanted the city workers to do it. it's still not done. nagin can have his chocolate city.
