Is anybody watching the NO mayoral debate?

[AlCzervik]

sub-titled--"The lets kick Ray Nagins assathon"? Sheesh, he's get hammered.

3. thanks

4. I am...It's one of the meanest "debates" I've ever seen.

Jeez...

[MadMaddie]

5. It's so easy for them to attack everything he did....the reality

is that if they were in the same spot...especially with no leadership from the WH to help...they would have ended up in the same shitty hell hole with no support....

Nagin is not one of my favorite politicians, he deserves some criticism but he shouldn't be the only one held accountable for the debacle...

[Pirate Smile]

6. I am.

Harsh? Yes, it is.

I hope Mitch wins though.

[AlCzervik]

8. it's very harsh imo, not a fan of Nagin but it's 3 against 1

14. A pile on is always ugly.

7. No favorites

I haven't followed this well enough to have real favorites, but Nagin didn't help much when the flooding started. If it hadn't been for that tape of him shouting that they've got drug crazed gangs in the streets help might have got in faster, and less aggressively. He played the wrong role that day, should have found out what was really going on and calmed things instead of playing it up to attract attention.

9. OH GOOD LORD!!!!

Would Hillary be better than Bush?

"I don't know."

NAGIN! WHAT THE FUCK?????? :banghead:

[AlCzervik]

10. honestly Matthews should have stuck to the "how will you get them to help"

instead of puffing and strutting around.

11. am I the only one surprised this is being covered by MSM?

Wouldn't be if not for Katrina...seems kind of unfair.

[Lisa0825]

12. I don't think it is unfair....

without a channel that can reach across the states, too many N.O. voters would not be able to see it because of still being displaced.

[idgiehkt]

15. okay, very good point. sorry forgot about that.

just seems like the vultures from the 40 million school buses meme are waiting around read to pick his bones clean.

16. I live in the Houston area

and we still have a lot of them here, so it's something I would think of. In a city where you wouldn't see someone practically everyday who was a evacuee, I can understand why that wouldn't occur to you.

13. I'm watching...

Nagin is getting kicked pretty good by everybody...

[Auntie Bush]

17. Watched the whole thing...and I like Nagin who was treated

very unfairly. The moderators seemed more interested and getting a kick out of making them say they like bush (even though they despise him) for fear he won't help NO if they bad mouth the bastard.

Chris even asked them why bush* should help NO when it's Black and Liberal.

18. chimpsrsmarter, I wish I had seen this thread last night!
