WHAT THE F.....?
When does this circus story end???? why are we pouring billions into this f...g swamp?
and the Dummies have the nerve to tell US about a QUAGMIRE?
hire halliburton to police NEW ORLEANS NOW
( Good thing I didn't get upset about this story.)
Did the federal government pay him in Monopoly money?
Stunningly stupid admission.
Grab the popcorn!
Monthly salaries for 700 people adds up to a little bit more than the latest version of Windows. But - just as long as the strip clubs are open - what does a few missing bucks really matter?
Why does this sound like Tammany Hall with the tale of his little tin box on dime at a time is how he got Freaking Wealthy; all over again?
Ray Nagin, mayor of New Orleans, lashed back at critics after the FBI discovered that up to 700 so-called members of the city police force simply did not exist. Funding for many of these officers was provided by the federal government.

This is beautiful. Perfect representation of a corrupt, crime-ridden TUGOCRAT local government. What a real piece of work this Nagin thug is...I see no reason that the feds could not prosecute this criminal for misuse of government funds, along with a whole host of other items....
Man, this guy's going to jail. It's going to be fun watching it.
Good idea. In my opinion, someone was living pretty nice off all this extra cash.
ROTFLMAO!
...and we used the money to party. Vegas is good.
Please tell me this is a joke.
Is this from the Onion?
LOL....joke of the year???
Satire?
What is the date he said this? The source? Etc.
At the VERY least, this is fraud.
If I take $x and say I'm going to spend it in some manner; then spend it in a different manner, I have defrauded the gov't. If I'm not mistaken, this is a felony any way you look at it.
Sorry to pop your bubble, Mayor Nagin, but we didn't just fall off a turnip truck this morning.
We are beginning to suspect that Katrina, washed your arrogant ass out of the NO sewers, though.
You really need to tell people this is SATIRE.
The dream police, they live inside of my head.
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no.
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain’t nice.
And when I fall asleep I don’t think I’ll survive the night, the night.
’cause they’re waiting for me.
They’re looking for me.
Ev’ry single night they’re driving me insane.
Those men inside my brain.
The dream police, they live inside of my head.
(live inside of my head.)
The dream police, they come to me in my bed.
(come to me in my bed.)
The dream police, they’re coming to arrest me, oh no.
"Sure we overstated the number of officers on the force," said Nagin. "We did this to deter crime."
As Nagin explained it, the phantom officers were used as a decoy to frighten would-be offenders. "Just as George Washington lit fake campfires to lull the British troops before his surprise attack at Princeton, we in New Orleans have employed a similar strategy."
