This looks like a good reason for a lot of the problems...
I heard on a local radio show today that back when Mary Landrieu's father was a mayor (?) and Edwin Edwards was a Governor instead of an inmate...the corruption was almost a "pride factor" in LA..
Considering, there are still 2 Landrieu's in political power in LA...how can it have changed much???

Vote for the crook. It's important!

...back when Mary Landrieu's father was a mayor (?)...
According to Wikipedia, Maurice Edwin "Moon" Landrieu was a state rep, a councilman-at-large, a judge, a mayor (1970 - 1978), president of the United States Conference of Mayors, and a US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the Carter years 09/79 - 01/81. His children are Senator Mary (gonna slap the president) Landrieu and Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu.
Victor Schiro was the mayor before him and Ernest Nathan Morial succeeded him.

Txsleuth, I think "pride factor" really sums it up! That's why I am so curious about the DESIRE COMMUNITY HOUSTON CORPORATION audit and what, if any, connection Nagin has besides the T-Shirt.
