THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY
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.
