And his opponents certainly haven't forgotten his performance in the first, darkest days after Katrina, when Nagin admonished sluggish federal officials to "get off your asses" but then indulged what turned out to be unfounded rumors of rampant murder and rape and wildly exaggerated estimates of up to 10,000 deaths.

After it struck, poor people died because they had no food and water and no way out. Hospital patients, including infants, died because hospitals had no supplies or power. Looting was rampant because troops were slow to be mobilized and there were too few of them.
