[GCFL-discuss] Oooops!

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

Siarlys, you're wrong.
At a time when the sidewalks were dry, the phones were working, and a
parking lot full of busses was doing nothing, he could have announced an
evacuation plan that could work.  He knew, or should have known, what was
coming.  Instead he announced, effectively, "If you have a car, get out.  If
not, too bad.  Go to the Superdome, but stay off the field; it might leak."

NYC had a plan long before 9/11.  So did the feds.  As soon as the attack
became apparent these plans were put into action.
NYC had a plan for a blackout.  When it happened, the plan was put into
action.
NYC has a plan for evacuating low-lying coastal areas in the event of a
hurricane.  It was recently reviewed and revamped.

At a time when danger was staring him in the eye, and the sidewalks were
dry, the phones were working, the mayor of New Orleans did exactly NOTHING.

 My response was simply, Giuliani had
forces at his disposal to give direction to, and citizens who were NOT
directly harmed to call on. Giuliani had dry sidewalks to walk around on,
getting good photo ops just for being there. 

The Mayor of New Orleans had none of the above. The entire city was under
several feet of water. All public functions disintegrated. At this time,
he has virtually no tax base to fund any city government with either.
