In a statement released early this morning, presumptive Democratic Party nominee Senator Barack Obama, (D-Ill) speculated Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans would be a "Spectacular" choice for FEMA director.

Said a spokesperson, "In light of the hurricane disasters caused by global warming and the Bush administrations inability to cope with the devastating effects, we feel in a Democratic Party regime Mayor Ray Nagin would be a spectacular choice to head the federal emergency team. His prolific actions during the evacuation of New Orleans during the Katrina catastrophe saved thousands of lives and serves as a model for the rest of the country. Since he was able to effectively tell the Republican controlled Federal Government how to do their jobs, we feel he's the perfect Democrat to put his knowledge, leadership and foresight to use as the head of FEMA. In conclusion, the public perception of Mayor Nagin as a disorganized nincompoop who isn't able to organize a one car parade is simply not grounded in reality."

Upon hearing this news, Al Gore issued the following statement, "I fully agree with this choice. I would also like to encourage him to begin the evacuation of New Orleans immediately. Global Warming will cause oceans to rise 30 feet in the next 20 years, and it only takes a rise of 7 feet to flood the soup bowl known as New Orleans. Of course, the French Quarter can stay because 2nd story balconies are where the hot chicks show their hooters."

I thought this was Scrappleface.

[Red Badger]

This is satire, right?..........

[CTK YKC]

This can’t be for real. It has to be The onion or something. THe upside is we could have a chocolate country then.

[Izzy Dunne]

Damn, I about had a heart attack.

[Dawnsblood]

Hahahahaha! Hopefully he remembers where the buses are next time...

[ArrogantBustard]

Obama is an idiot.

[SueRae]

I would hope so...can he be that stupid????

[Blue Turtle]

Even if it is satire....I would not be surprised. Wake up America.

[golfisnr1]

The dumbing down of America is going to accelerate.

[SlowBoat407]

When the line between satire and reality gets a little too blurry.

[tomkat]

Great idea, Hussein !

[vetvetdoug]

What's next? Marion Barry for ethics management and the Ford family of Memphis to direct the Treasury? Anyone with a brain can see that Obama is a racist and ethnocentric in all of his decisions.

[skinkinthegrass]

LOL! i'm glad, i looked @ keywords...

[Blood of Tyrants]

You had me going until I read about the hot chicks showing their hooters.

[mgc1122]

I doubt if Johnny Mac has the brass or even the will to comment on such a stunningly stupid proposal by the messiah.

Hey McCain haters: is THIS what you want to teach us all a lesson?

[agere_contra]

Yeah, we're laughing now.

Nagin would do far less damage at FEMA than Buraq Hussein Muhammed Obama (peace and blessings upon him) would do if he got into the Oval Office.

[AU72]

I think Nagin would be a great choice to take over running of the Boston Duck Boats.

[kidd]

It is entirely possible.

The whole Obama campaign has been about “show”

- The candidate himself has nearly zero Federal government experience and only minimal state government experience. But that doesn’t matter - he’s black and white and he’s well spoken.

- Obama has stated that he will bring the Bush administration to trial for his handling of Iraq. Of course, Bush is on solid legal ground, but the trial will look good for his supporters.

- Obama intends to significantly raise taxes, despite knowing that this will result in less revenue for the government. Why? Because it looks good when you punish the wealthy.

Mary Landrieu, when asked why the school buses weren’t used to evacuate people when the hurricane was coming (IE, BEFORE THE HURRICANE)

replied quickly “those buses were under water” then went on to another topic.

[TommyDale]

"Wha' 'bout me?"

[cpdiii]

Hey dog, are you related to Scrappleface. You had me going for a about two sentences. That was a good one! :)

[RoseofTexas]

JEEPERS! You scared the heck outta me! WHEW!

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I knew it was a joke as soon as I saw it.

[kimmie7]

This simply MUST be satire

[ZX12R]

She’s the obvious choice for heading Space Command.

[numberonepal]

You got me.

[PGalt]

LOL! Ping!

[rock_lobsta]

LOL! That’s a funny one!

Wouldn’t surprise me, though - Hussein and the Chocolate Cabinet.

[SMARTY]

Ha! THAT’S the first thin I thought of!

[savedbygrace]

"Of course, the French Quarter can stay because 2nd story balconies are where the hot chicks show their hooters."

The one time I was there for Mardi Gras, there was one hot chick who was doing that. The rest who were doing that were definitely not hot.

In all cases, though, I strongly suspect alcohol was involved.

[BenLurkin]

Bringing bayou born corruption to Washington.

That’s change?

[Diogenesis]

Great pic. Says it all.

[chuckles]

I was just thinking William Ayres would be Education Secretary.

How about Kucinich for Sec of Defense. Or maybe Ron Paul if he wants to "reach out" to the other side. Baghdad Bob for press Secretary. Ex mayor of DC "what's his name", for Drug Czar.

[tiredoflaundry]

*snort*

[newgeezer]

Hey McCain haters: is THIS what you want to teach us all a lesson?

Speaking of lessons needing to be learned, ... ;^)

[wildbill]

This is from one of those joke sites, right?

[SERKIT]

Dan Rather should run with this story to reclaim his glory. Post this as real news - see if Barry's campaign responds to the question: “Is Mayor Ray ‘School Bus’ Nagin being considered for a cabinet post as FEMA director in your administration?”. Hang “School Bus” Nagin around Barry's neck like Rev Wright! A news pool reporter who is along the campaign trail with Barry needs to "ax" him this question!

[Myrddin]

Obama shows his intelligence again. He's picking the one person who is best known for screwing the whole thing up. If "school bus" Nagin is the kind of person Obama thinks is worthy of a cabinet position, we're in a whole lot of trouble if he gets elected.

[Myrddin]

What's next? Marion Barry for ethics management and the Ford family of Memphis to direct the Treasury? Anyone with a brain can see that Obama is a racist and ethnocentric in all of his decisions.

Marion Barry is up for Drug Czar. Kwame Kilpatrick gets the ethics position. Sheila Jackson Lee will head up the education department. Rev Jeremiah Wright for U.N. ambassador.

After seeing this thread two up -

'Operation Chaos' Spurs Hillary To Mull Limbaugh As VP
scrappleface.com

- I thought there couldn't be two satire threads this close together. The first I knew when I saw the source, but this one almost got me, since BO would do something this stupid.

[numberonepal]

Speaking of lessons needing to be learned, ... ;^)

Tongue in cheek indeed. I must tell you that this gave me a scare outside of the implied humor. That I would totally believe it to be true says something about our sad state of national political affairs. I'm jaded, cautious, and wary when it comes to politics and I damn well thought this a probable decision by Obama.

[Fresh Wind]

Of course, Nagin has the one and only qualification that Obomba considers important...

[indylindy]

Hey McCain haters: is THIS what you want to teach us all a lesson?

You are joking, right? Read the article again, and get over it, many of us hate all 3 of them.

[Myrddin]

Hey McCain haters: is THIS what you want to teach us all a lesson?

McCain is the least liberal of the front runners. There are no conservatives running this time. Too bad we've come down to voting for the least odious candidate on the ballot.
