Uh-oh. Someone is in a lot of trouble. Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.

I am not surprised by that. It was a matter of time he would get in trouble.

What?  Did someone discover that the Gub'mint chocolate the leeches have been feeding on the last several decades has a suspiciously similar smell, taste, texture and appearance to the product coming out of the local sewer treatment plant? :thatsright:

Trial of Trenton Mayor Tony Mack pushed back to June, at least

 Mack, who was arrested with his brother and Giorgianni on Sept. 10, faces six counts of extortion, bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He allegedly worked through Giorgianni to seek over $100,000 in bribes from the developer of a proposed automated parking garage in downtown Trenton.

Me too. Now if we can get ex Gov Blanco (D) indicted and sent to the poky that would be great.

Mayor Mitch Landrieu, brother of Senator Mary Landrieu, will probably uphold the fine tradition of graft and corruption that has plagued the city of N.O. for many years.

Nagin's problems are all caused by the stress that Bush's failure to handle Katrina put on him.  If Bush had done his job then Nagin wouldn't have been under so much stress. /DU mode

was just there, nothing about Nagin at all yet. Wish he'd been held accountable for that gun grab he ordered during Katrina as well.

I don't think that POS had a stress day in his life. He was holed up in a downtown hotel during the hurricane. The National Guard had to rescue/evict this coward because he was afraid his brothers and sisters might harm him.

That's funny.  Doesn't say he's a Democrat until page 2 and this is the Washington Times.  If he was a Repub and this was the NYT it would be part pf the headline.

He should be on Obozo's short list to replace Holder. He'd fit right in with the rest of the crooks in DC!

Such things are a right of passage for DemocRAT politicians. This will put him in postition for a higher office in some DemocRAT RAThole. But then again, places where DemocRATs are in pwer do tend to be RAT holes.

I was reading something the other day that Nagin had asked for help but if I recall correctly he and the governor did not want it when Bush offered it early on.
