Apparently there is hope for Nagin!

The New Orleans mayor has apologized for the divisive comments he made during Martin Luther King Day observance.

I blogged the comments, noting that despite their divisive character they appeared to indicate that a recognition that at least in the abstract, divisiveness is bad. Apparently Mayor Naglin does indeed recognize that, and has moved from the abstract to the concrete.

Even with all that has been less than ideal about his behavior since Hurricane Katrina put him in the national spotlight, give the man credit.
