Nagin's views raise eyebrows
2009-10-22
Posted by:tipper

#10  the mayor told the AP's Havana correspondent that "one of the biggest weaknesses we had . . . (was that) it wasn't clear who was the top authority."

C. Ray Nagin was cowering in a luxury hotel when this was going down (thereby earning the nickname "See Ray?" among the locals.) In my experience the "top authority" was a corporal in the Oregon National Guard, just back from Iraq, who cut through stupid bureaucratic directives with a chainsaw and got things moving again.

#6  Normally, Nagin's views raise middle fingers, so I guess eyebrows is an improvement. But what's with all the commie worship by the Democrats lately? Cuba this, Cuba that. And Mao? Even the ChiComs have backed off on that. The only place you find Maoists nowadays is Nepal and Peru. And, of course, the Obama administration.

Hey Ray! Did ya ever get all those buses dried out?

#4  Well, considering that Hizzhonor didn't do much besides hysterically meltdown on-camera and damn the Feds for not rushing to the rescue thisveryinstantnow! maybe we can hope that he did take a few notes about making quick and effective decisions in a crisis. He did f**k-all when it came to managing his own city in a crisis, except for blaming everyone else, so anything he learned in Cuba would be an improvement. And yes - Hizzhonor Mayor Nagin is a dictator-worshiping moron.

#2  Cuba's repressive regime does "a much better job" than U.S. officials of identifying citizen needs and deploying resources

He's a friend of Farrakhan's. I guess that will free up more H1N1 vaccine for the rest of us.

#1  Nagin told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he thinks Cuba's repressive regime does "a much better job" than U.S. officials of identifying citizen needs and deploying resources in the face of hurricanes, which routinely batter the Caribbean nation.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN CHARGE!!!! MORON!!
