Nagin dons the tin-foil hat
To date, I think I've been fairly restrained in criticizing the local officials for their handling of Katrina and its aftermath, even though I think it's pretty obvious that they failed their constituents in a time of need.
But this is a bit over the top (emphasis mine.)
"Today was a turning point, I think," [Mayor Nagin] said. "My philosophy is never get too high, never get too low. ... I always try to keep my emotions in check and yesterday I kind of went off a little bit. I was worried about that, but it maybe worked out. I don't know. If the CIA slips me something and next week you don't see me, you'll all know what happened."
This is old news, of course. He said this Friday. I'm a bit surprised that I'm just now learning about it. Perhaps it's because everyone is too busy being offended by Barbara Bush's extraordinarily insensitive remarks.
UPDATE: Evidently he said it not once, but twice. (Hat tip: Ace)
