NEW ORLEANS — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is releasing a memoir in June about his experiences dealing with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and its aftermath.

He sent an e-mail and Twitter notes Tuesday about the book, "Katrina’s Secrets: Storms after the Storm."

Nagin’s press release says the book will be released June 8 "via Amazon" and will discuss "institutional issues of race and class that secretly conspired to control and slow down the recovery."

I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that this tome will start at the point he returned from Las Vegas to New Orleans....and not a moment before.

What a phenomenal tool this guy is.

Remember all the buses Nagin didn't order for the people of NO as if they would have ridden on them ..They would rather die than to be put on anything that wasn't air condition or have plush seats..Maybe that is why he didn't take them out of the bus barn,he knew that Do not buy anything written by this moron,he will a waste of money...

Look for it in the remainder bin when you need something to prop up a table leg.

" and will discuss "institutional issues of race and class that secretly conspired to control and slow down the recovery."

The city has been run by black democrats for decades. The only institutional issues to discuss are corruption and incompetence.

What a pathetic group down there.

Japan suffered a much larger disaster and you hear very little from them. They’re all busy cleaning up and rebuilding. The New Orleans slugs will be milking this for the next ten years.

This made me remember my favorite part of the Don Imus show...............when his sidekick Bernard would become Ray Nagin & do commentary. It was so brilliantly funny & oh so politically incorrect! He nailed him!
