I know, it's Mardi Gras. And Mayor Nagin is trying to be funny. Probably he believes he is paying tribute to that "John Wayne Dude," Lt. Gen. Russel Honore.

But still, there' something funny about the imagery.

 

And I guess he better learn to ride if he is going to take up residence with the rest of his family in Texas after the elections.

Of course my first thought was that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse now have a new riding companion.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

what a total jerk this guy is!

[Sloth]

Incompetence rides a chocolate horse?

[Sam Hill]

Nagin's the man ping.

[Howlin]

I am dead serious when I ask you this: what is he trying to "say?"

[Klatuu]

What a doofus!

"Of course my first thought was that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse now have a new riding companion."

Nope, still just four - one got kicked out.

Now they're War, Famine, Pestilence and Doof.

[nopardons]

Oh my word! LOL

"Somebody on my staff suggested this, and I'm to friggin stupid and stoned to know better"

[highlander_UW]

He seems to think he's some combo of Castro and Hugo Chávez.

I remember when I was a little boy, I used to like to dress up in my daddy's sheriff uniform. Sorta made me feel like a real man. Hmmm....

[Bahbah]

He is not a serious man, but then it was not a serious city. He may have been perfect for it, but I wonder if he still is now.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse now have a new riding companion.

Yeah,..."Bad School Bus Driver"

Oh yeah, falsely wearing un-deserved medals is a crime. Lock em up.

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

he is a disgrace to the uniform...

nagin should be put in the stocks or pillory.

[Cecily]

It's a cry for help. He's saying, "I'm crazy as a bedbug. Somebody throw a net over me!"

Also, isn't his horse the wrong color? Or is the horse symbolic of his desire to dominate the white man? Who knows? The man is goofier than Farrakhan.

[southernerwithanattitude]

He's saying, follow me boys I know where a bunch of buses are parked.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I guess that was Naggin's attempt at humor, to try and make fun of the only person and personnel that actually helped the city of New Orleans.

This is the perfect time for the old saying, "F%8k you and the horse you rode in on!!!"

[Howlin]

But is that a dig at somebody?

Please help me........I'm kind of dumb about subtle things like this..........LOL.

[ronnied]

reminds me of dukakis in the tank....it cost him the election....

[BigSkyFreeper]

Like his mayoralship, it's all an act.
