Yeah, Nagin's latest bone-headed remarks about the WTC site being a "hole in the ground" should get these NOLA representatives far with New York City.

[D-fendr]

He's hoping to land the new Amphibious Bus Manufacturing Plant..

[dancusa]

If Rudy was still mayor, he would tell them to go pound sand.

[Froufrou]

seeking commercial sponsors for next year's Mardi Gras, an idea that didn't take off in 2006 as the city struggled through a scaled-back Carnival season.

So he's trying it again? What a maroon! And why should any but the chocolate care what he wants for his chocolate city?

[Darkwolf377]

Is Nagin looking for hole-digging technology? He seems to be doing a good job of digging those for himself on his own.

Take the mayor to Ground Zero.

Then tell him to get on the first bus leaving NY.

When he complains about taking a bus back to New Orleans, explain to him if he didn't hate buses so much, maybe many of his citizens would have had to die.

[MayflowerMadam]

After he insulted NYC a few days ago? Sheesh. Stuck on stupid.

[Billthedrill]

Nagin's been taking political advice from Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson.

Man...if I were from NO and had any political clout, Nagin would have his mouth duct-taped shut and then be sent to his room and never let out. His "chocolate city" and "hole in the ground" comments shows that he was born with his foot in his mouth. In fact, I'm reasonably sure it was his great grandfather who, about 150 years ago, asked Mary Todd Lincoln:

"Other than that, what did you think of the play?"

[RichInOC]

Rich's plan for getting New Orleans on the road to recovery...

Step Number One: Make the stupid mayor shut up.

I mean, really, you have to love the timing in this.

[rod1]

Yeah didn't Nagin just trash NYC totally and now he is heading there asking for help/handouts?!

They should send him packing saying they would not presume to tell him how to rebuilt his city since he obviously knows so much better than NYC's best minds.

democRATS have absolutely no shame.

[Young Werther]

Of course, he could travel just 90 miles East to Biloxi and see how Mississippi is doing it!

[TChris]

Three facts should prevail in the discussion of New Orleans:

1. New Orleans is below sea level.
2. As a pit of corruption, New Orleans has wasted billions of dollars already.
3. Rebuilding it is a monumental waste of taxpayer money.

[Enchante]

Why don't all the LA Demagogues resign their positions? At least with a clean slate in offices there it might be conceivable to gain some traction with investors - but who in their right minds would invest in a city led by Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin or a state led by Governor Blankhead????
