#1 When Pat Robertson says things like that, everybody makes fun of him.

#2 Ray's worried all the people who left and found out how cities really work elsewhere, won't come back and re-elect him. Plus, a large hispanic population is reportedly moving in to fill the void left by the departing blacks.

#3 wouldn't his logic also imply that God was angry at the mayor of New O?

#5 How nice of him to make such a racist statement on MLK day.

#6 How about a "fudge ripple" city, Ray?

#9 Once you get past the racism and the Pat Robertson theology, what he's basically saying is, "God is mad at us, yet wants us to rebuild NO exactly the way it was before he smote us." I would be embarrassed to open my mouth if I were as ignorant as Ray Nagin.

#10 Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

#11 I guess it was also God who decided to ignore the city's evacuation plan completely and just play it by ear in the face of a Category 4 hurricane, leaving thousands of people stuck in the city and dozens of buses idle in soon-to-be flooded city lots.

Clearly Nagin is the innocent victim here and needs to be re-elected. :-P

#13 "Surely God is mad at America."
"Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses."
"But surely he is upset at black America also."
"It's the way God wants it to be."

Apparently God has told Ray "Noah" Nagin a whole lot of things, but he forgot to tell him to build an ark.

#14 At least Ol' Ray mentioned that black communities were tearing themselves apart with violence and not taking care of themselves.

Even a blind sow finds an acorn now and then...

#15 Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses.

I'm no theologian, and I certainly don't presume to speak for the Almighty, but I'm guessing He is rather pleased that Saddam and his hellspawn kids are no longer running around loose, stirring up trouble.

#16 Nagin may have run a cable franchise in N.O. before becoming Mayor, but he seems to have all of the political and administrative skills of an autistic hamster.

#17 he seems to have all of the political and administrative skills of an autistic hamster.

After my dealings today with Comcast, that seems to be mandatory for cable employees

#18 From what I saw, I'd have gone with God being mad at school buses. Look how many of them drowned.
