If this jerk didn't exist, we'd have to invent him.

Black sensabilities are too sensitive (and counterproductive) when a black mayor is disliked for not being black enough.

Next time, lay off the tequila shots before making a speech, Ray. This guy always sounds drunk or high as a kite.

"I said some things that were totally inappropriate. ... It shouldn't have happened," Nagin said...

No sh**, Ray?! You think?!

I think he's smokin' weed with Al Gore myself. But they both put on quite a skit.

I personally have about had it with the attitudes of black politicians - MLK must spin in his grave.

When he was talking about "mixing chocolate with white milk" was quite possibly the stupidest thing he has said to date.

Chocolate / Vanilla. This guy is nuts. I predict a Rocky Road ahead for him.

He's apologized already? We were having such fun with this!

He must have gotten hammered by public opinion.

John Gibson just reported the Nagin called into ViewSide and apologized for saying God was angry at the US for going into Iraq.

"Nagin received less than half the black vote, Renwick said Tuesday, and the mayor's heaviest criticism since taking office has come from rival political factions in the black community, many of whom have portrayed him as an "Uncle Tom" who caters to the interests of white businessmen."

Ah. So this liberal nitwit barely made it in. Who knew?

I guess God destroyed New Orleans because the seething mob was a hair away from electing a communist.

There's no need to apologize, Ray. Most people are not planning to move there anyway.

He has to learn to take polls BEFORE he says such things (like other Democrats).

Yes, but did he apologize for his stupidity?

What if a white mayor said that God wanted his city to be majority white? What if a Republican Senator said to a church in Harlem on MLK day that Democrats are running a "plantation"? Race politics practiced regularly by liberals in this country stink. Leftists are playing the same race hatred that segregationists did 40 years ago.
