    Mayor Nagin Disses New York and 9/11

    (Originally posted at KP Cubed-LA)

    Mayor “Chocolate City” Nagin Disses NYC for 9/11

    In an interview with CBS Mayor Nagin says, “"That’s alright. 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."

    This after being asked about, “… flood-damaged cars in the street and a house washed partially into the street.”

    There has been much talk recently about New Orleans lackluster performance in the rebuilding process, or even the clean-up process as compared to Mississippi or those affected by the tsunami. With the 5th anniversary of 9/11 coming, I don’t think he could have used a worse analogy. More people died in the attacks on the towers than died in New Orleans, yet Nagin makes a comment which only shows his inability to do anything. Instead of defending what has been done or coming forward with what his administration is doing to change the facts, he lashes out at New York.

    His frustration is understandable. Living in a corrupt city within a corrupt state can really tie your hands, especially when you have them both in one cookie jar or another. Maybe after the Mayoral election, New Orleans will have the leadership she deserves as one of the finest cities in the world, or at least someone with less embarrassing quotes.

    With his main core of voters driving the crime rate in Houston up, I don’t think we have to worry about another term. Luckily, Nagin does not speak for the citizens of New Orleans that are trying to rebuild, despite the governments help, but I think I speak for most of New Orleans when I say,

    “SHUT THE HELL UP RAY!!!!!”
