New Orleans mayor quarantined in China for possible flu Ray Nagin
CNN ^ | June 7th, 2009

Mayor Ray Nagin, who traveled to China on an economic development trip, flew on a plane that carried a passenger being treated for symptoms suspected to be from the virus, commonly known as the swine flu virus, the mayor's office said in a statement.

Nagin, his wife and a member of his security detail have been quarantined in Shanghai, China, though all three are symptom free, the statement said.

"The mayor is being treated with utmost courtesy by Chinese officials," the statement said.

Ceeon Quiett, the mayor's director of communications, told CNN that Nagin had been sitting beside a passenger who "exhibited the symptoms of H1N1," but Nagin showed no signs of illness.

He’s a pig anyway. China can keep him. He’s probably trying to sell school buses that aren’t needed anymore. What a piece of s-—. And, anyone that looks like him.

What the hell is Ray (school-bus) Nagin doing on an "economic development" trip...for whom? The city of NO? Is he yet another of Zero's classy ambassadors?

Do you think he’s being flooded with well wishes and sympathy cards yet?

Just to be safe, keep him there.

Flu or no flu, he is a real hazard.

Nagin bragged that the high murder rate in New Orleans would keep the city "out there" (i.e. in the news).

Well, now the flu can keep him "out there".

It’s not for an “econ. dev’t trip”...it’s for a climate change/globaloney warming seminar.

Swine flu is the LEAST SIGNIFICANT thing the Chinese should be concerned about this joker spreading.

...Ray Nagin is a great example of what happens when black Demcorats legally seize power in an urban area.

foxx, your cynicism is shocking. Hizzoner is on hiz way to Australia to deliver a keynote address on "Climate Change."

Who better would know about the disastrous effects of Bush-Caused Global Warming on Women, Children, and Minority Group Members?

In anticipation of Chocolate City Boy's Arrival, Australians have been required to turn in all weapons. By the way, your implied criticism of this outstanding "Man of Color," proves you are a racist.*

** Nex time there be a flood, honkey, doan even think abouts gittin'on the school bus ... you be jiggy?
