Ray seems like an Obama kind of guy.

Surprised he didn’t get a sweet cabinet post or ambassadorship.

Plus he worked at General Motors....

Why use these school buses to transport your black community out of danger from Hurricane Katrina when you can let them get flooded so you can blame Pres. Bush for negligence? Just another crime Ray Nagin never got justice for.

"Because that is where the money is."

Nagin will be the fall guy not only for his own deficiencies, which were many, but also for the howling enormities of Marc Morial. Nagin is a toad, but Morial is a viper. Unfortunately a very clever one too.

The motel chain got wise to the towels he stole while he was hiding his sorry can out during Katrina.

This is racist.

You can't hold a Black male responsible for anything.

PERIOD!

Sounds like Nagin has Zero/Holder bus tire tread marks on him.

contractor Frank Fradella pleaded guilty to giving “Public Official A” — who is known to be Nagin — $50,000 and showering him with free granite


May I savor the image before reality resumes?

Actually , it was Mary Landrieu’s Aunt who STOPPED the Buses from being used during Katrina .
The lefty local Time Pee Yehee rag never asked her why !
Surprise the rag is on life support and not expected to survive.

I really, REALLY hope Nagin gets some hard time.
Maybe he can get on the same cellblock as William Jefferson(D) Louisiana.

I did not, but did you know that the Morial administration received reports of levee leaks within the city, and that those reports were ignored and covered up? Meanwhile the federal money to maintain the levees sort of disappeared.

Nagin was bad. Morial was worse. But for the levee breaks, New Orleans would have weathered Katrina. $35,000,000 is relative chump change, compared to the flood that need not have happened, and would not have happened under competent governance, corrupt or not.

I detest federal intemeddling in local affairs, but New Orleans should be occupied, garrisoned and policed, just as it was under the Spanish Crown. That was the only time New Orleans ran a profit as a colony. I forget the exact numbers, but the ratio of garrison to residents was about 2:3.
