Nagin Sang Different Tune During Recent Visit To City
PHILADELPHIA -- New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin criticized the cleanliness of Philadelphia after a visit to the city last week.
"Let me tell you something. You ought to go to Philly and you will appreciate how clean New Orleans is," Nagin said Saturday to a crowd of New Orleans residents concerned about the city's recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
"Just go and walk around Philly a little bit and you will appreciate," Nagin said. " ... We still have some work to do but we definitely beat them by a long shot."
Nagin struck a different tone when he was in Philadelphia on Thursday, thanking the city for providing shelter to displaced New Orleans residents after the storm.
The mayor and officials of his administration came to Philadelphia to learn about the city's efforts to demolish blighted buildings and replace them with new developments.
"That was a big learning piece for us today," he said.
There has been no response yet from Mayor John Street.

Nagin and Street are BOTH @$$clowns, but I think Nagin is full of it in this case. Way to show gratitude, jerky.

Nagin and his people have $hit into the Easter basket that was once New Orleans — and are calling it chocolate...
The ONLY parts of the New Orleans toilet that are clean — are the parts flushed out by the flood waters..
