Nagin in Details magazine: "I'm all about results, man."

Ethan Brown, one of the city's best investigative journalists (and a man underappreciated in his own hometown), has an eye-opening portrait of Ray Nagin in the new issue of Details. It's not on newsstands yet, but it's online and sure to spark discussion. A few tidbits:
Nagin on the Gustav evacuation and subsequent re-entry cock-up:
"I’d do it all over again."
Nagin on the NOAH scandal:
“Everybody’s looking at it, which is great. Because now I’ve got professional investigators versus bloggers.”
Nagin on the New Orleans blogosphere:
“To me, some of those blogs have become the new sheets for racist people. They’re not marching around with white sheets. They’re on the blogs and in the comments sections.”
(He's got a point there, but it would've been nice if he would've recognized the difference between thoughtful individual bloggers and, well, this.)
Nagin on Nagin:
"I’m a lifelong Democrat, but I have supported some Republicans. I’m all about results, man."
Read it all here. Good work, Ethan.
