As former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards once said (and I paraphrase because I can't remember the exact comment) is the only way he'd be in trouble with voters is if he was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
Sounds like Louisiana politics as usual.
Comments or opinions - anyone?
Didn’t hurt Barney “Pageboy” Frank at all!
His trip will cost millions
But what the heck, his administration is our modern day camellot
As much I want to be aghast at this, it is pretty pro forma to have the mayors of the competing teams at the game, although I think the teams themselves usually pick up the tab for the tickets (I think).
This really is a standard perk and any city that didn’t pay for the mayor to go to the game would look like they are pretty bush league.
But these days it is probably worth it to put some pressure on Nagan just to watch him squirm.
All the more reason to root for the Colts.
Will anything change with Mary Landrieu’s brother who was just elected to replace Nagin?!
Voters elected Louisiana Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu mayor of New Orleans Saturday, marking the first time the city will have a white mayor in three decades (his father, Moon, the city’s last white mayor).
It’s the Chocolate Bowl anyway.
He should have ridden the bus. Afterall, New Orleans has plenty of UNUSED ones.
“New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin headed to Super Bowl XLIV on taxpayers’ dime”
Normal behavior for a nanny state liberal.
Well, if the voters of New Orleans put up with this, they’ve no one to blame but themselves.
