Can we finally stop blaming Bush? Because it’s indisputable now that 52.3% of the residents of New Orleans are stuck on stupid.

Yes, that Ray Nagin.

Michelle says it’s the definition of insanity: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

And I’m putting money on the fact it’s not the only thing stupid they do over and over. We’re one week away from the start of the 2006 hurricane blame-Bush-for-all-Lousiana-officials’-total-incompetence season.

I suppose they’ll also re-elect Congressman William Jefferson come November as well. I mean, even though he used the National Guard to protect his home while people were still drowning in Katrina’s aftermath, how bad could he be? After all, he was probably just trying to protect the $90,000 in cash he had stashed in his freezer. But don’t worry about where it came from, there’s video of him taking a $100,000 bribe… but it was probably to help the citizens of New Orleans survive the bombing of the levees that George W. Bush ordered.

1. I thought that Nagin had lost his mind about the time of the infamous “chocolate city” comment. Now it appears that the populace of the Crescent City share his delusions.

2. I have a lot of questions in light of Nagin’s re-election…….

   WHY were “they” able to bus people in to New Orleans to vote but weren’t able to bus them out when the hurricane was coming?? (I assume they bussed them back from whence they came after voting, right?)

   Are the “displaced” New Orleans’ folks getting special treatment and being allowed to vote in both their “temporary” home town and their “original” hometown? I sure hope not!

   Do other cities in other states bus people in from out of state to vote in local elections? What are the residency requirements anyway? Is there a time limit indicating how long this can go on?

   After living away from the effected areas for a long time, have others displaced by natural disasters been allowed to return and vote in local elections?

   What if those folks bused in to vote have no intention of ever moving back to New Orleans?

   Will they be busing folks in to vote in the November elections? If so, how long will this go on?

   Hey, New Orleans, don’t come crying to me for money when the next disaster hits! If you are stupid enough to re-elect Nagin then you only have yourselves to blame for your future!

   Rots of Ruck!
