Ray Nagin, Mayor of New Orleans, talks during an interview in Havana October 20, 2009
Nagin, who served as mayor from 2002-2010, stirred national controversy after the powerful hurricane broke local flood walls and inundated most of the city, killing some 1,500 people and wrecking tens of thousands of homes.
After the flood, Nagin angrily denounced the federal government response, urging government officials to "get off your asses" as thousands of people who had been forced from their homes waited for help.
Is this a surprise to anyone. I think even the 99% correct Rush Limbaugh correctly stated this in years back. Sarcasm added.
