I have written a number of posts about Ray Nagin (Welfare Ray). I think he did a terrible job and was nothing more than a coward who could not lead. There is a new book out now that asserts the same thing:
A new book about the Katrina catastrophe paints a portrait of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin as a clueless, collapsing coward who hid out after the hurricane in a high-rise hotel – and had to be rousted out of Air Force One’s bathroom.
