As Harry’s Place notes, The mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, has had to apologise for the shock and disbelief, as well as for the offence caused, when he stated, at a ceremony to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, “Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane and it’s destroyed and put stress on this country.”.. the Professor has more links to the speech and commented, “Louisianans are not blessed in terms of their political class.”.. of course, there are those who would still agree with Nagin’s original statement, as has been noted here before.
