NEW ORLEANS — Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has been indicted on 21 corruption charges including wire fraud, bribery and money laundering.

The charges announced Friday come from a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen.

The one thing you can always count on is representatives of the Democratic [sic] party look after one another.

"Like they looked after me?"

AP just can’t bring themselves to print Democrat in these cases but look out if it’s a Repub.

I’m not so sure it’s still a Chocolate City as ole Ray exclaimed.....Seems like I recently (last two years) seen more than one Louisiana License tag on cars belonging to refugees from there that never left. I’m sure Texas and other surrounding states are still benefited with their presence too.

Great news! He is headed for Chocolate City alright—the nearest penitentiary.

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

Very likely true but still the funniest thing I've read in a long time! Somehow there is a different "flavor" to corruption in DC verses The Big Easy. DC corruption is evil and threatening. New Orleans (naorlns) is down home, just a couple a' good old boys trying ta' get buy, don't ya know...

First Kwame Kilpatrick.

Then Congressman Jackson.

Now this.

I am running out of heroes.

Get out the picture of the submerged school buses! How about GROSS INCOMPETENCE!? How about playing with the lives of citizens to score political points!?

Excellent! :)

This article is the other article I was mentioning. The article is comprehensive in it's details, but somehow in all those words, 'democrat' is not to be found.

Hey Nelson, the Rats just took another one in the...

BOOSH!!!

I’m not so sure it’s still a Chocolate City as ole Ray exclaimed.

I was there just a couple of weeks ago and it's become a lot nicer than pre-Katrina, albeit at the expense of Holder's people now populating Texas in greater numbers. It's not just the Quarter -- even Canal Street and the CBD are less thuggish nowadays.

Prior to this president there was a difference. Now the In Your Face Corruption is pretty universal.

The poorer sections of town were more flood prone, plus once the leechs tapped into a new vein they didn’t want to leave. It wasn’t only Texas, Massachusetts got a handful of them, who were expressing delight at the warm welcome they got here. Go home, now, please.

at least we still have Lance Stretchpants.

Oh noooooooo’s not the chocolate city mayor? lol
