Chocolate Town trying to clean up their act?

Good try. He’ll be given a Presidential Pardon, then he’ll be appointed the White House Ethics Czar.

I’ll be surprised if the vermin ever does ten minutes’ worth of jail time. The one thing you can always count on is representatives of the Democratic [sic] party look after one another.

This is the second article I read about Nagin's indictment and both do not mention his party affiliation. Hmmmm...wonder why?

Another 'Rat mayor ... no surprise. Nagin was mayor during Katrina ... the liberal media fawned all over him ... this is the kind of crap Bush had to put up with ... a corrupt mayor, a ditsy female 'Rat governor ... and he took the hit. Katrina was Bush's fault.
