THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 21, 2006 09:33 AM

They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Today’s example of craziness: New Orleans reelecting Ray Nagin mayor.

They’re stuck on stupid.

In AP-speak, incompetent = “colorful.”

Reader Jim K. writes:

Evacuees were bused in from Atlanta and Houston to vote for a guy who refused to use school buses to bus ‘em out before Katrina? And the guy still won. I give up.

Paul Mirengoff observes:

Having witnessed Marion Barry repeatedly elected mayor of Washington, D.C., I can’t say I’m surprised at Nagin’s success. Re-electing an unsuccessful or disgraced mayor apparently can become a source of civic pride, particularly when the racial politics are right.
