"Wonder if things in NO could really have been that corrupt???"

Now that's funny! Corruption and politics in NOLA is like red beans and rice.

Just wait for more information to come out about where the decades of federal levee funds have ended up. To date we know: casinos, the Mardi Gras Fountain, bridge studies. Indictments for Broussard and his cronies for bribery. LA state officials for state FEMA are under investigation, believe indictments were also announced.

Diverting attention from LA politics was exactly why Blanco and Nagin hastened to blame FEMA & President Bush.

Corruption and politics in NOLA is like red beans and rice.

Not exactly. Red beans and rice is on Mondays only. Corruption in NOLA is 24/7, like titties and beer.
