I heard this late last night... I was like... well he's certainly sincere... but sometimes he'd use words in the wrong context. Like talking about looters, he'd be like, that's the small majority... and stuff... oh well...

Is this the same Mayor who had a disaster plan in place for a Category 4 or 5 Hurricane that correctly describes what is happening in New Orleans but failed to activate the plan prior to the Hurricane hitting? Yeah it's the rest of America's fault...

Mayor to feds: 'Get off your asses'
Should be 'You are asses'
He shares the blame tho for leaving all those buses parked when people were trying to walk out of the city.
He's an ass too.

Unless my reading and listening skills have deteriorated, he didn't criticize the "rest of America" at all.

NAGIN: I have no idea what they're doing. But I will tell you this: You know, God is looking down on all this, and if they are not doing everything in their power to save people, they are going to pay the price.
Another idiot. It is the responsibility of the city to evacuate before the storm.
It was the responsibility of the city to have a plan after for recovery.
He doesn't share the blame. He's the one who was responsible. That gives him all the blame.
The more I read of it the more I want to hold his head under the water. If drugs were a problem before he should have dealt with that like other mayors have tried and had some success. He screwed up and he knows it. Blaming others for not fixing his f*ckups is pointless.

... And I wish the Good Lord™ would auto-delete all Katrina threads - but I guess that'd be asking too much. This pre-pubescent bickering, flame-bating, "my country rocks"/"your country is sh!t" B.S. is just embarassing. Yeah I know - it's the Lounge, people are passionate in defending their convictions, blah, blah, blah, ... is there a point when it's enough already?
Dudes & Dudettes, in case you've missed it - the horse is not only dead, it's also no longer recognizable as a mammal - too much kicking.
And even though this is most likely a futile attempt: ambush - I'm curious - what the fsck kind of a response were you expecting to a thread titled "New Orleans mayor criticizing rest of America"? Since I'm fairly certain that you can't be so dumb to actually believe that Nagin did anything of the kind, the only other conclusion I can come up with is that you posted this out of pure spite and to piss people off - in which case your sorry behind should be put on yet another "Lounge-hold".
Btw, the same thing goes for the usual right-wing posers, as well.

I'll rephrase: "my country's sh!t / your country rocks except at making dictionaries".
Better?

Well, if that moron they called a mayor had taken the steps he was responsible for this situation wouldn't have been the way it is now. The infrastructure and plan should have been in place for the aid to come in when it was time. There isn't supposed to be a federal plan for every city in the country in case of emergency, that is what local governments are for.
Plus, federal aid workers were already dispatched to Florida because of the hurricane there a few days prior. It isn't just NOLA that has been hit and needed attention.

Aside from the interview's bias, I think it can pretty easily be summed up by this:
NAGIN: They said it was some pulleys that they had to manufacture. But, you know, in a state of emergency, man, you are creative, you figure out ways to get stuff done.
In other words, "Do More!"
