Of interest to your hurricane thread ping list

Color me shocked!! No, stime that, can’t say color or it might be a racist comment.

[Old Sarge]

Mr. Chocolate Mayor of the Chocolate City looks to be up to his eyeballs in chocolate-colored doo-doo.

[gundog]

Corruption in the Chocolate City? Say it ain’t so, Ray.

[SMGFan]

He wants A “Chocolate “ grand jury.

[Roccus]

Whatever happened with his phantom police force?

Likewise, it's long been known that St. Pierre lined up a private jet and then paid for first-class airfare so the Nagins could vacation in Jamaica after Hurricane Katrina, and also provided a private yacht and plane tickets to Chicago for Nagin re-election campaign parties.

He had yachts and jets at his disposal after Katrina. It would have been nice if he had a fleet of buses available for the little people with no way out...

"...so admiral Nagin's tub ran aground"

[Drill Thrawl]

I guess the Feds are racist (the “T” is silent) as well.

[Bitsy]

The busses were there alright - BUT NOBODY was there to drive them! Crazy!

He had yachts and jets at his disposal after Katrina

How would he have known that from his Houston penthouse?/sarc

[Servant of the Cross]

Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin offers his best Hurricane advice.

Lootie needs to make an appearance on any Nagin thread ....

[G Larry]

Countertops?

I thought he was in the business of installing toilets on buses?

[Bitsy]

showed that St. Pierre spent more than $1,000 on landscaping services at Nagin’s home in the months after Katrina.

Nagin is arrogant, yes and corrupt, yes but not to the extent of those crooks in DC. I would certainly like a probe of all those in DC that have had their lawn manicured on my dime or dined on expensive wine and lobsters - that I can’t afford - on my dime. Nagin is small potatoes compared to the should be convicts in DC.

Louisiana - Half under water, the other half under indictment.
