Of course it was stupid. Of course he deserves criticism.
The difference between Nagin and Robertson/Falwell is that, a. Nagin realized how stupid his comments were and has already apologized, b. Falwell/Robertson have a lifetime worth of moronic comments, Nagin would have to have a lot more diarrhea of the mouth to catch up with them.

True, but there is another difference that I find more important: Fallwell/Robertson have never been elected dog catcher. They are basically infomercial stars. Nagin is the mayor of a large American city with power and influence over the lives of hundreds of thousands. I think it is worse when an important elected official says something stupid then when a tv preacher does.
