Shocking, shocking development;
Former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was indicted Friday on charges that he used his office for personal gain, accepting payoffs, free trips and gratuities from contractors while the city was struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
The charges against Mr. Nagin are the outgrowth of a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen and a prison sentence for a former city vendor.
I see some Federal prosecutors who will at least be fired, if not jailed, for prosecuting His People…
Noo Awlins under Nagin was a mini-Haiti.
‘No surprise. So, does he go to jail? He should. Or are he and his fellow benficiaries blaming it on Bush?
OMG they actually mentioned he is a *gasp* Democrat in the story. “as he snubbed fellow Democrat Kathleen Blanco and endorsed Republican Bobby Jindal’s unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign in 2003.”
“green energy entrepreneur”?
Why not? It fits.
What would be shocking is if a Nawlins mayor Wasn’t a corrupt POS.
Blame it on chocolate.
When does he start his fish broth (crawdad) diet in protest?
“If I had a brother he would look and act like Ray Nagin”—Barrack Obama
He sounds perfectly qualified to become Montreal’s new mayor
Psst. Hey buddy, you wanna buy a recently dried out school bus cheap?
Don’t forget….
It’s all George Bush’s fault!
It’s Geo. W. Bush’s fault! He hates black people!!!
I hope the former President is enjoying a moment of well deserved schadenfreude.
I wonder if that politician who had the $150,000 stashed in his freezer ever got charged? Besides good food, boobies and beads there is not really anything of moral or physical value in Chocolate City. I know a fair bit of it’s denizens who ended up in Houston only contributed to the crime rate and welfare roles.
Now if Nagen and Holder were to end up roomies in a Fed prison my faith in the justice system might be restored.
Nice to see that N’aleans is still taking out the trash…lots more to go…
Democrat, not guilty! Silly Republicans! 😉
I miss George dubya
I’m not shocked that Nagin did this stuff. Not at all.
What I’m shocked about is that he was indicted and that the criminal justice system appears to be working to at least some extent.
Why haven’t Bill and Hillary Clinton been indicted?
TexasCanuck, the fellow you’re thinking of is Bill “Cold Cash” Jefferson who is serving
thirteen years in Federal prison. Funny how the lame stream media didn’t report the longest sentence ever for a congressman.
“Mr Nagin is accused of accepting free travel and vacation expenses for trips to Hawaii, Chicago, Las Vegas and Jamaica while in office”
Who does he think he is, taking all those vacations, the President?
When I seen all those buses rotting in the water. If you didn’t know this incompetent was on the take. You’re just brain dead. All that money given with NO looking like Haiti. LIBerals are slaves to graft. It why Detroit is what it is.
