In a way, I’m glad to hear it has improved. I have mixed feelings about whether the areas in Texas, Georgia and elsewhere can accomodate their refugees on a permanent basis. We’re already inundated to the point we’ll all be speaking Mexican here in Georgia within 15 years.

one good tip is to use waterproof bags to carry your bribe loot.
another is the giant plastic tubs make great floatation devices or Heineken transport systems.

We noticed that AP didn’t mention Nagin’s political party.

Been waiting for this one! This guy has been a joke from day one!
How many years did take to see the dirt!
Government is such a wonderful thing! Now slap his hands and say just don’t do it again! After all Marion Barry made a comeback!

He’s just as innocent as Kwame Kilpatrick (Detroit) because “the rules are different” for him.

A comment from your linked article;

“What you crackers failed to acknowledge that WE (Blacks) didn’t put Ray Nagin in office. Ya’ll did, but that’s the nature of a beast, they pretend like they don’t remember what they done. WE(Blacks) wanted Richard Pennington in office to clean up City Hall, once and for all, and what did the ‘powers that be’ do. They erected this vice-president of Cox Cable, who hadn’t an iota of political knowledge, but had the endorsement of EVERY crook in New Orleans on his campaign, but ya’ll ain’t going to tell that! Why? Because white-folks are that low down. To play the good knight, when in actually ya’ll are the EVIL that continues to destroy this city, because ya’ll really don’t want US (Blacks) here, but ya’ll haven’t figured out a way to eliminate us, Katrina did some damage, but it wasn’t what ya’ll expected, but ya’ll got the public school system back, and City Hall, and now, ya’ll after the legacy of African-Amerikkkans, to make yourselves look good, but those of us who know the TRUTH, won’t sit back and be quiet, while your Clancy Dubois/Chick Foret, and other idiots make analysis but won’t tell the whole story! Once again, Blacks didn’t put Ray Nagin in office, white-folks did. That’s ya’ll tragedy! LOL”

The party of complete corruption. Black heroes going down one by one, but heck, they’re blameless. They’re entitled. They’re elected and reelected by the low info voter. Just look to Washington DC and that corrupt coke snortin’, coke dealing Mayor. Reelected several times. Sorry, I erased his name from my memory.

Glad Rush pointed that out. There’s a link at post #31 to a long article at Eyewitness News in New Orleans and Democrat is not mentioned in it either.

Ran into him in DC a few years ago. Looked right up his nose, which was high in the air as he rudely elbowed in front of me and another little old white lady in a crowded hotel lobby. Oh, how the high and mighty have fallen. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the entitled Democrats’ collapse.
