Yes Bravus. That is true. And I don't want to be reminded of the 'Gangsta' type activities seen.

It's funny how one forumer mayor of a town of 7,000 or less, who made questionable decisions is being praised, while another mayor of a major, albeit troubled city is being pilloried. I think Nagin is doing a good job. I live 500 miles away, and I don't keep up with the daily activities in the crescent city. I think he's done a good job taking care of his ocnstituents. He made several trips here to Houston during the Katrina crisis, and beyond, to check on them. Those who kick back on msg boards and throw stones, for entertainment purposes, or maybe it is for spiritual enlightenment, should consider the fact that NO politics, and Louisian politics in general has always been jacked up. It didn't get that way when Nagin got into office. The hurricane just exposed the problems. And it is not just the mayor's office. the governors, the senators, the congressmen, the prez in the white house, both dems and publicans, they all contributed. It's been like that since Huey Long, since Huey Newton, his namesake left for Oakland, lol. It was like that since before the Louisiana purchase.
All considered I think the mayor of NO has done a good job. Other than snipes from msg board experts, or wanna bes, I haven't anything creditable to the contrary.

It appears that the proper handling of Gustav is more a reflection of the able Jindal, then of "chocolate" Nagin.

If Nagin was mayor of this msg board he'd be in trouble, but being as how he is not, who cares?

As for stupid comments, McCain once told a mean spirited joke, saying Chelsea Clinton was so ugly because Janet Reno is her father. Everyone has forgiven him for that, so Nagin would be forgiven for his chocolate city comment. Oh that's right, forgiveness is Christlike, can't be having that. It would be out of charecter.

p.s.

McCain can't see too well, CC is not unattractive.

Anything 'chocolate' is considered good.
