Fumbling, stumbling, bumbling - mayor Nagin in the news again

It's obvious that poor mayor Nagin is in over his head and is reeling from the pressure of the very public exposure of his unworthiness.

Mayor Nagin exhorted his citizens to come back, come back to New Orleans! That is, until someone told him that another hurricane is on the way. He retracted, as the Red Star reports:

"I am concerned about this hurricane getting in the gulf. ... If we are off, I'd rather err on the side of conservatism to make sure we have everyone out,'' Mayor Ray Nagin said. The announcement came after repeated warnings from top federal officials — and the president himself — that the city was unsafe.
Rambix has previously written about the mayor in a post titled "New Orleans mayor falls apart in crisis". He clearly has not gotten himself back together.

The president is in charge:

"The mayor — you know, he's got this dream about having a city up and running, and we share that dream,'' the president said. "But we also want to be realistic about some of the hurdles and obstacles that we all confront in repopulating New Orleans.''
Mayor Nagin is not fit to run the local shoe store, much less a major American city. Here he shows his ignorance by criticizing Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, the top federal official in charge in New Orleans:

Before reversing course Monday, a clearly agitated Nagin snapped that Allen had apparently made himself "the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans.''
No composure, no class. And he has the nerve to shift blame to the feds. Mayor Nagin should step down immediately and seek employment at the local shoe shop. We'll not hold our breath.

The city of New Orleans is in bad shape now, but it wasn't in such good shape before the hurricane. Anti-Strib documents the liberal connection, which includes mayor Nagin. Just like Minneapolis, liberals own New Orleans lock, stock, and barrel. And they get all the "credit" for it's current state.
