You can't tell me that you have not heard the idiotic comments that Ken Livingstone made after the London Transit bombings?
In fact, he openly supports Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Islamic supporter of suicide bombings. Before the bombings, he stated “The Palestinians don’t have jets and bombs, they only have their bodies to use as weapons." He also compares the bombers to martyrs, and the leaders of the movements as equal in holyness to the Pope!
Just do a simply Google search, I am sure you will find tons of links to this moron (as well as those of George Galloway.

Hugh Adonizio, mayor of Newark NJ, who, when asked why the fire department wasn't more aggressively putting out fires (under the protection of the NJ National guard) during the Newark riots said "let it burn, we'll have urban renewal and gentrification".

Richard Daley the first, he can rot
Albert Boutwell Mayor of Birmingham Alabama, 1963 who with Govenor George Wallace allowed three
"men" to bomb a church killing four little girls without punishment, but put Martin Luther King in Jail(who
wrote "Letter from Birmingham Jail" while there) for his nonviolent civil rights protesting.

The mayor of London sounds like a real piece of work.
The mayor of Pleasantville, NJ....Ralph Peterson Sr., who said the crime problem in Pleasantville is getting better...when some kid shot three people at a youth football game last week! Liar, liar, pants on fire!!
Ex-Atlantic City Mayor James Usry...a shining example of the rampant greed and corruption that was business as usual for Atlantic City government during the 1980's along with the aforementioned Mike Matthews...

I have to honestly wonder if the blame for some people not evacuating New Orleans before Hurricane Katrina hit should really be blamed solely on the Mayor...and if the poor, elderly and disabled people, especially those without family, in the Big (Not so)Easy(anymore) had the AFFORDABLE means to get out....
It all makes me wonder how well New Orleans emergency services prepare for stuff like hurricanes..or even something like a possible terrorist attack...

I'm not all that in favor of San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome. He comes off a bit cocky, even though I believe he's doing a decent job.

It was the same-sex marriage thing. In 2002 California passed, if I remember correctly, prop. 22. It passed with about 60%. The newly voted in law says that California will only reconize a marriage between one man and one woman. Newsom violated that law and illegally married gays. If he had instead illegally handed out gun carry permits, he'd be in jail. But for some reason, he can get away with illegally handing out marriage licenses. Those marriage licenses were later voided by the California state supreme court. But Newsom is still in there, thinking he is supreme dictator of San Francisco and that he is above the law.

Let's see...
The Mayor refused to authorize overtime pay for the bus drivers. According to the evacuation plan, busses were to be used for the evacuation. As we all know, they were underwater when it was over.
The Mayor refused to pubically announce the Amtrack trains that were available free of charge to evacuate the area. All of the trains left empty.
The Mayor insisted that people use the SuperDome, even though he did not have any security there, and no facilities for when the dykes failed, and the sewage backed up. And no water on-site, for when the water was poluted.
The list goes on, but that is enough for me.

There should be a 'Golden Dunce' award for dumba**es like Roy Nagin...maybe the dubious honor should be named after him!

Oh puhleeez! Between illegal gun licenses and illegal marriage licenses, which one actually has the potential to cause serious crime, damage, and harm to citizens? The marriage thing was an obviously futile act of protest. Handing out illegal licenses to hold and operate deadly weapons is something TOTALLY different and you know it.
Seriously, it's like you live in a completely different world sometimes.

You can't tell me that you have not heard the idiotic comments that Ken Livingstone made after the London Transit Underground bombings?
You mean the one that suggested that our involvement in Iraq had made us more likely to be a target? Not particularly idiotic, IMO
In fact, he openly supports Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Islamic supporter of suicide bombings.ÂÂ
From the Telegraph article on this subject
Mr Livingstone said that many of the comments attributed to the imam were "from translated sources hostile to him." He was also not responsible for everything on the website that operates under his name.
...so our Ken doesn't believe what's been written about al-Qarawhatsisname - I don't have the info to hand to say who's right and who's wrong.
Before the bombings, he stated “The Palestinians don’t have jets and bombs, they only have their bodies to use as weapons." He also compares the bombers to martyrs, and the leaders of the movements as equal in holyness to the Pope!
Again, you haven't read what he actually said: he hasn't said anything about being "equal in holiness", but he did talk about al-Qaradawi's reformist agenda being similar to that of Pope John XXIII's
The quote about the Palestinians using their bodies as weapons is accurate, but then it's also true: whether you agree with their cause or not, they are so overwhelmingly outgunned that they'll fight back with whatever they've got.
Just do a simply Google search, I am sure you will find tons of links to this moron (as well as those of George Galloway.
The one think Ken Livingstone is not, and that is a moron - he's an odd mix of radical socialist and liberal (probably the word "libertarian" is closer to the US usage); he's also a very popular politician who's run London in a couple of different guises for a large part of the last 25 years or so.

Why the h*ll aren't New Orleans residents saying "Let's get Nagin out of office"...Nagin should not be Mayor after he showed how ignorant he is when he did not mention to the people in the Big Easy that they could evacuate via Amtrak?
Nagin is INCOMPETENT. How he handled the Katrina mess proves it.
