Unbelievable. No wonder Nawlins is a sewer hole. All he's concerned about is getting his base back, not rebuilding the city. What an idiot.

Funny that you don't see any outrage about this in the msm. If this had been a white mayor making the same comment it would have been plastered all over the cable news shows and we would never hear the end of it...

OK, I'll take the bait on this. Is there some sort of implication from Nagin that white on black, or black on white, or brown on yellow, or some other color combination of crime is less bad? What sort of pretzel logic is that?

How about this bit of mental midgetry:
"It's time for us to rebuild New Orleans — the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans," Chocolate New Orleans?
Sounds like a great name for a dessert at Commanders Palace. Ray, you mini-mind, that's certain to inspire the gumbo of races in your city to pull together and rebuild. Geez . .. This cerebrally-challenged dolt is the Mayor?! He needs to be as far away from any rebuilding as possible.

As if this weren't enough, he pontificates on insight to Gods' intentions: "Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Well, gosh, Ray . . When did YOU become the arbiter of Gods' intentions?

New Orleans is doomed with dimbulbs such as Nagin in charge.

Well, that would explain why the hurricanes were so devestating to New Orleans. I mean, chocolate just isn't going to stand up to all the wind and rain. Perhaps if they built it with a chewy caramel center this time it will be able to stand up better.

I wish he would be more specific. Does he mean milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate

I doubt he means white chocolate.

Nougat, my confectionary friend. Nougat.

If it was a plague of locusts I might buy it.

Has anyone reminded this "democrat" that Katrina gave a glancing blow to his town, and the only reason his town swam and so many people died we because of his and other Louisiana people ignoring the fact that their town was a crisis in the making?

Definately not.

While this flaming ferret garners press, what about the people in Mississippi and Alabama who took the full force of Katrina? I know, I know, not sexy enough. Now what if one of them said --- "We shall build an IVORY town..."

Makes me sick.

I hate the loss of life, but this idiot from whereever, well, he should have been under one of the flooded houses.

you gotta listen to his "explanation".......I don't know that anyone could be a worse liar.

ValuJet · January 17th, 2006, 08:04 AM

Truthfully, that comment could have been made by any number of mayors of Southern cities suffering a calamity on the scale of Katrina: Cities comprised of a black mayor with a majority black constituency, having watched his city's tax base erode while the crime rate soars. And Mr. Nagin has a legacy of graft and corruption on his side, to boot. Although, the "chocolate" comment is probably exclusive to Mr. Nagin. Perhaps he's out of things to say to get the residents back (such as "the red beans and rice just ain't the same without you" comment), and he's wanting some headlines or outrageous sound bites to bring attention to N.O.

I don't know.

There aren't many winners emerging from the aftermath, fer sure.

The media only talks about NO because only NO gives them something to talk about with idiots like their mayor making dimwitted comments like the one he made yesterday. Whilst he's over there being a media hound, the rest of us along coastal Mississippi & Alabama are quietly toiling along, slowly rebuilding, and neither blaming our government or God nor asking for handouts to help us do what is OUR job to do.

What doesn't get enough national attention in NO is the number of citizens who have returned to the city and are doing exactly what the rest of us are doing, rebuilding and wishing idiots like Nagin would just go away already. I get the local news out of NO and they interviewed some citizens re: Nagin's comments last night. Two gentlemen (one black, one white) were tearing out a house together and both said they couldn't care less what Nagin "says," they just wish he'd shut up and "do." The black man said "words don't gut a house." I got a little tickled by that.
