Here is an excerpt from a story in today’s Times Picayune:

[Mayor Ray] Nagin is on vacation and could not be reached for comment. (Note: Apparently, the TP didn’t know that the mayor has been vacationing in Jamaica.)

Compare this to what volunteers are doing today in New Orleans. See story here.

The fact that the Nagin is vacationing during a period while New Orleans remains in shambles with zero leadership, is the equivalent of the statement attributed to Marie Antoinette while the French peasants were starving: “Let them eat cake.”

Happy Thanksgiving to all you “peasants.”
