Nagin Lied, People Died

Who's fault is it that so many died in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Let me officially point a finger at Ray Nagin. He's not responsible for all the deaths in New Orleans, but 60 busses sitting idle? That goes beyond incompetence.

As a good friend of mine who grew up in the French Quarter recently told me, "There is no city in the U.S. that can even begin to compare with the corruption and incompetence of New Orleans." Indeed.

Or as I'm fond of saying, "New Orleans Parish. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Kevin and Paul have the photos to back up the accusation.

CRITICAL UPDATE: I now have photographic evidence that proves the busses were used to evacuate people from New Orleans. Perhaps I was too hasty in this post. Please see this post here.
