New Orleans, LA (AHN) - Reports are stemming from local New Orleans media that Mayor C. Ray Nagin is being quarantined in Shanghai after possibly being exposed to the H1N1 virus on his business trip in China.
Nagin administration spokeswoman Ceeon D. Quiett said Nagin is being treated with the "utmost courtesy by Chinese officials."
According to the Mayor's website, the purpose of the trip was to "meet with four prospects interested in the possibility of locating their businesses in New Orleans."
The website also notes that Nagin is expected to travel to Sydney, Australia, "where he will be the keynote speaker for City Talk: 'Sydney & New Orleans', "the role of city government in adapting to climate change". Mayor Nagin also will give two other speeches in Sydney, focusing on the impact of climate change and New Orleans' efforts to create a more sustainable environment."
Mayor Nagin is supposed to return to New Orleans on June 15th.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
Chocolate City mayor Nagin quarantined in China.
I love it
I don’t know, but do you suppose we could get them to keep him permanently?
Ray should have been scraped over to a far corner a LONG TIME AGO........
Is he the “Angel of Death” in China?
But surely the Chinese have some sort of BUS SYSTEM they can get him to the airport in????
With trash there’s always a story.
You beat me to it.
I could understand him going there. But his wife? Cmon this is a VACATION at taxpayers expense.
Find him an empty sports stadium to hang out in for a few days.
“Nagin spokeswoman Ceeon D. Quiett...”
Come on!
It’s hardly noteworthy anymore when public “servants” live it up on the taxpayer dime.
GMTA. :-)
“Nagin spokeswoman Ceeon D. Quiett...”
Come on!
That was my first reaction as well. Google it. It’s real.
Excellent! I never tire of Looter guy. :)
Determined to get us nuked. That dolt got a bit of fame and ‘power’ and now wants to push the Chinese around a little.
Amazing how low we’ve sunk.
