Ray Nagin welcomes "V-Day" Founder, Eve Ensler to city
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin says he is "a vagina-friendly Mayor."
Nagin made the remark while welcoming the author of the Vagina Monlogues, Eve Ensler to the city to promote the "V-Day" celebration in New Orleans next month.
Scheduled to appear during 2 days of educational, cultural and entertainment events at the New Orleans Arena and Louisiana Superdome, are Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Salma Hayek, Sally Field, Christina Lahti and Faith Hill.
Ensler says they will celebrate V-Day's 10 years of ending violence in the world.
Mayor Nagin began his comments at the news conference by saying, "How am I gonna stand up and say, I'm a 'vagina-friendly' Mayor to these cameras after 'Chocolate City' and some of the other stuff that I've done. But you know what? I'm in."
"She (Ensler) started describing the event, and you know what, I'm a guy and I've heard about the Vagina Monologues but I don't know what was going on. I didn't know anything about it and she started to describe this event - look, you know I've got a script and I'm not following it - and I was absolutely blown away at how awesome this work is. I mean, she is doing God's work. So, I stand before you, a vagina-friendly Mayor. I am in! And you know what? It is so appropriate right now. New Orleans, Louisiana is the birthplace of jazz, you know, but it is the birthplace of so many tremendous women."
The event is a benefit. Ticket prices range from $25 to $1000.
Or, a stunning cun.......

Huh??? I musta missed that announcement.......
Tell THAT to the women Clinton has raped.
Nagin took another swat at our senses when he introduced further diversity by adding to the mostly male S.W.A.T. unit a woman’s auxiliary, the Tactical Weapons And Tactics unit.
My kind of Mayor
What a cining whunt.
"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!
List of Ping Lists
Yeah, well, I guess I lump all Yankees in the same basket too!
Sure he is. That’s because he thinks with his.....
Never mind....
Hey I thought that San Fran mayor Gavin Newsom already laid claim to that title.

How right you are! I have to chuckle every time I hear someone complain about this great country. Most of these agitators have never lived outside this great nation, let alone actually studied what other countries are like for women, blacks, mexicans, disabled, homosexual, etc.
Women, in particular, have some amazing opportunities and rights in America and for some wingnuts to write a play that asks the audience to use the "C" word in order to "empower" them undermines their own progression.
They forget that they are safe to run around the country shooting their mouths off and making complete fools of themselves because a great military establishment has been around for 200 years doing violence to the enemies of freedom on their behalf. They will never understand - decades of drug use have rendered them incapable of rational thought.
THAT! is the funniest graphic I’ve seen posted on FR, maybe ever!
Another great point! That drug use made their minds more pliable for the counter-culture philosophies (or lack of any) to take hold. Arrgh. They've been so conditioned that the only way to fix it is through attrition....
