Big Apples to Oranges...

Ray Nagin is not Rudy Giuliani! People should quit expected him to be. Yes, Rudy had to deal with the greatest act of terrorism on American soil. Rudy didn't not have to deal with over 800,000 homeless citizens, evacuation of 150,000 citizens below the poverty line, or a city that is 80% under water. NY never lost complete power and communications. Rudy could also walk the street hugging babies without the threat of someone shooting at him. Apples to Oranges folks.

While we're on the subject of apples to oranges. You cannot compare the Governors of MS and AL to Gov Blanco. On paper, TV, and internet, MS and AL looks to be handling the situation better than Blanco, but they also did not have to deal with their largest city being pushed to brink of complete destruction. 800,000 people homeless. Complete Parishes destroyed.

All that being said, Blanco and Nagin both share some responsible to the human horrors that occurred after Katrina dealt her deadly blow.
