Ex-Mayor Nagin paints himself as hero in memoir
Posted: Jul 9, 2011 8:16 PM by Nichole Larkey & AP
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin writes in
a new memoir that he was the only one to understand how to recover
from Hurricane Katrina, and that he endured plots against him and
incompetence around him as he set his plan in motion.
That and more is in the recently self-published memoir from
Nagin, who was mayor before, during and after the Aug. 29, 2005,
storm.
However, many of Nagin's claims in "Katrina's Secrets: Storms
After the Storm" are startling to some. Former Gov. Kathleen
Blanco disputes claims that she was engaged in a power struggle
with the president. And retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore says he has
no recollection of discussing a "freedom march" that Nagin says
was meant to call attention to the city's plight.
What ever it takes to make himself look good instead of the fool he really is. I had high hopes when he was first elected since he was an actual businessman. I guess it didn't take long for the N.O. libs to show him how to get votes down there.

You had high hopes for Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin? Boy, y'all must be desperate as hell down there.

Actually, when he ran for his first term, he was supposed to be mildly "conservative". Everyone down there was fed up with all of the "Ol' Boy" network of the Morial administration and was looking for better. I guess I misread him as conservative and he was just less liberal than his opponent.

The Mayor of Chocolate City only has one legacy, and this be it:

The school buses that the city's own evacuation plan called for deploying before the storm arrived....

Yeah, quite a turnaround from an honest businessman to capo de Chocolate.

The key words here are "self-published."
The moron almost certainly shopped his tale of woe, libel and slander to every publishing house in the western world known to man and could not find any takers. Not surprising at all given the quotes and the reaction to them. No publisher in their right mind would want to end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit. And no one in their right mind would actually pay to put themselves in a liability situation.
New Orleans is a fool's paradise in so many ways and when Katrina hit they just happened to have the mayor that they deserved.

Incompetence caught on film is always a winner!

This ought to garner a Pulitzer in the Fiction category .
