Former mayor Morial fires back at Nagin over ‘Batphone’ ~New Orleans Advocate
~Morial, now president of the National Urban League, said the phone was designed to stay active even when power and regular phone service went down. Nagin’s on-the-stand joke, Morial said, “got under my skin because Katrina was nothing to play around with. The way he handled it — (President George W.) Bush and (Gov. Kathleen) Blanco, too — made New Orleans the laughingstock of the country.” Had Nagin picked up the phone instead of ridiculing it, Morial added, “he might have learned something.”
