Thanks for playing.

His downfall was being openly critical of the lack of response from the white house and the stupid "chocolate city" comment. He still has my respect for putting the city back together after total devastation. White folks made an example out of him.

His problem came when he took the money to plan for such a event and the did nothing to implement the plan that lead to thousands suffering. He then blamed it on Washington when local emergency management was to blame for a disaster becoming a tragedy. Anyone who has been a part of evacuation knew nothing had been done when those first air videos shots of Parked flooded out school buses where shown on national TV. He then tried to blame others for his and local officials for not actually implementing plan they had taken 15 million federal dollars to create.That was difference between new Orleans and other areas who implemented their plans; plain and simple.I'd love to hear the phone calls between local and governor on evacuation plans ready to go.

I've heard that the problem with the school buses was actually the lack of available drivers...they were busy getting their families out, too.

Regardless, it's fairly indisputable that his actions and inaction heightened the suffering of any number of people. The old saying "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" applies. He just happened to pick an especially bad time to steal from the trough.

It was already done indirectly.

The perfect ending would be him getting a jail cell with Jessie Jackson's kid.
