Nagin Strikes Out Again

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin doesn't have the intellectual capacity to evacuate his city, nor does he have the intellectual capacity to re-populate his city.

"Nagin has announced that the city's Algiers section, the Garden District and the French Quarter would reopen over the next week and a half, bringing back more than one-third of the city's half-million inhabitants."

Whoa, hoss!

The mayor's homeland security director, Terry Ebbert, backed away from Nagin's promise on Friday, saying only that the city would assess the situation in the French Quarter from "day to day."

Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen called Nagin's idea to return up to 180,000 people to New Orleans in the next week both "extremely ambitious" and "extremely problematic."

It's the tap water, stupid. You can't drink it, you can't wash in it. Did you think about that, Mayor? Did you think about the possibility of heavy rain or another storm causing more flooding? Did you ever think about that? Did you ever think at all?
