"
. . . Unbelievable!! Lousyiana politics is so bad that even the losers remaining in Nagin's "Chocolate City" can't find anyone better than the most incompetent, idiotic, unstable mayor in America (and, possibly, the world). . . ."
I have no argument with your appraisal of Nagin DustyMoment, but if I were a voting resident of New Orleans -- I live in Lafayette, Louisiana, about 175 miles to the west -- I would have had to hold my nose, reach for the Nagin lever, close my eyes and pull it.
The Landrieu family has done more to institutionalize electoral fraud in Louisiana than anyone since Huey Long.
Pop up the following page to read about Mary Landrieu's initial election to the U.S. Senate in 1996 to see what I mean:
Fraud in the Woody Jenkins vs. Mary Landrieu Election, Nov. 1996
And the official returns (check out Orleans Parish):
Official Statewide Returns, Louisiana Senate Race, Nov. 1996
As bad as Nagin is, I would have had to vote for him were I a resident of New Orleans. The Landrieus are a terrible influence in Louisiana politics.
No doubt you are correct about Landrieu. However, it is part and parcel of La. politics that the only choices in an election come down to the devil and the deep blue sea.
NOTHING has changed in La. politics since the Longs ruled the state except the names of the racketeers in charge.
