If you don't think New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin is utterly incompetent and clueless, you weren't watching Fox News last night. Here's what the "mayor" had to say when questioned upon the wisdom of sending his police and firemen on all-expenses-paid Las Vegas vacations:

Try to imagine that kind of buffoonery from Rudy Giuliani in the aftermath of 9/11.
