Of all the ideas I've heard about what to do with New Orleans, the best one came from former U.S. Rep. Tim Roemer (D-Ind.), who said we should "put somebody like former President Jimmy Carter in charge of rebuilding New Orleans."
As president, Carter distinguished himself by failing to free the hostages in Iran, failing to vanquish inflation and failing to solve the energy crisis. Were he to fail to rebuild New Orleans, he'd be doing the country a great service.
As opposed to Reagan solving the hostage crisis by arming the Iranians, Paul Volcker vanquishing inflation, and the energy crisis ending when Carter's speeches led to massive US conservation after his term of office. Jeez, these conservatives and their conventional wisdom.
