Viserov Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 He's New Orleans' major, not governor. :p Why would he not have a job? The people voted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b mitchell Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 This man is my hero. Seriously. Finally a public official in an elected position who is actually going to stand up for his people and not take the crap from the current administration.

mrchetsteadman Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 LOL, it's okay. I think fred666 changed it anyways. But what do you guys think about that interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedaxax Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 first time i heard him speaking i thought he was a famous rapper or something - never have i heard a "politcian" speak in such a down to earth and pasionate manner - amazing 2 days ago he even said - " the cia will probably take me out for this..." i will definetly listen to this later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what do you guys think about that interview? 586483649[/snapback] He's definitely a down-to-earth, realistic mayor. It's sort of funny, because he used to work for Cox and I'd always see him on the local station promoting Cox products and services. Regardless, he needs to be honored in some way. He definitely made the history books as more than a footnote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zedaxax Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 ive been looking for this interview since i heard it the frist time i think it was on friday i was amazed weird thing is that cnn (which showed it live) have not hosted it or refered to it since... heres the full transript http://tradermike.net/movethecrowd/archive...o_interview.php And I'll tell you, man, I'm probably going get in a whole bunch of trouble. I'm probably going to get in so much trouble it ain't even funny. You probably won't even want to deal with me after this interview is over.WWL: You and I will be in the funny place together. NAGIN: But we authorized $8 billion to go to Iraq lickety-quick. After 9/11, we gave the president unprecedented powers lickety-quick to take care of New York and other places. Now, you mean to tell me that a place where most of your oil is coming through, a place that is so unique when you mention New Orleans anywhere around the world, everybody's eyes light up -- you mean to tell me that a place where you probably have thousands of people that have died and thousands more that are dying every day, that we can't figure out a way to authorize the resources that we need? Come on, man. You know, I'm not one of those drug addicts. I am thinking very clearly. And I don't know whose problem it is. I don't know whether it's the governor's problem. I don't know whether it's the president's problem, but somebody needs to get their ass on a plane and sit down, the two of them, and figure this out right now. WWL: What can we do here? NAGIN: Keep talking about it. WWL: We'll do that. What else can we do? NAGIN: Organize people to write letters and make calls to their congressmen, to the president, to the governor. Flood their doggone offices with requests to do something. This is ridiculous. I don't want to see anybody do anymore goddamn press conferences. Put a moratorium on press conferences. Don't do another press conference until the resources are in this city. And then come down to this city and stand with us when there are military trucks and troops that we can't even count. Don't tell me 40,000 people are coming here. They're not here. It's too doggone late. Now get off your asses and do something, and let's fix the biggest goddamn crisis in the history of this country.

I doubt it'd be on a national level, because he's made some enemies in recent days with his comments. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
