its sad to see when even a black man can't expree his true opoin about the failed government and people of new orleans without being shouted down---new orleans is a great city but a lot of its people who were not here 25 years ago have turned it into a "SHITHOLE" ---they kill each other at the drop of a hat---during katrina they started looting even before the storm hit--after the storm did they steal food-"NO" ---just tv's and tennis shoes--nola is racist they all just hate white people

ed blakely, i hope you read this. you failed new orleans, and neither your revisionist history nor your self-congratulating presentations will change that.

your stunning incompetence is overshadowed only by your disgusting narcissism and appalling disrespect for a city from which you took $150,000/year without giving anything in return.

yeah sure you live in New Orleans...Clearly you are Blakely's flunky trying to make him look like he is legitimate. I hope you like being Ed's boy.
