this guy is getting on my nerves - yeah he's entitled to be more than a little peeve, but throwing tantrums for the media isnt helping... and I think it's probably doing more to incite than anything else.

When 9/11 happened, Rudy was a pillar of strength, he was a person that people could look to for support, I dont see the mayor of new orleans acting in a similar manner.

The mayor was caught totally unprepared for the end result of the hurricane, heck a mandatory evacuation wasn't called until it was pretty much too late, now he seems to be looking to blame everyone else for the mess now (not that he's wrong), but I don't see him accepting any responsibility for anything.

it's a tough situation for him to be in... but the end result of a Cat 5 hurricane hitting new orleans isn't news... They had been playing interviews from years ago with a city engineer about what would happen... Why was there no contingency plan?
