Katrina Coverage

Yesterday Mayor Nagin held a press conference, and the video is here. I don't have the full transcript, but the clip has the host saying that Nagin was asked about Michael Brown quitting FEMA and didn't comment. Then, the host says that Nagin said that "a lot of the blame, a lot of the fault can really be shared".

Indeed, as we can see from what Nagin then says:

"In the final analysis I think we all could have done things better… If I would have known that the cavalry wasn't coming in three… two or three days I would probably have planned things a little bit differently…"

Actually, that sounds more like Nagin is shoving the blame off on the feds, but, as with other politicians, it's occasionally difficult to tell exactly what they're saying.
