Probably Just Some Young Reporter in the Back of the Room,
looking for some way to get a nice story out. Because there's simply no way that the Dr. Ed Blakely really stated that New Orleans lost more population between the 2000 census and hurricane Katrina than it did in any ten year period since its population decline began around 1960. Does anybody believe that he actually implied that the federal government conspired to help hide the fact that the city lost more people in the first 3 1/2 years of Nagin's term than in 8 years under his five predecessors? Get real.
Update: Just heard the radio interview on TV. Oops.
