Let Nagin twist in the wind, folks.
Granted, the "numbers game" the wingnuts have played... turning 324 buses (70 of 'em useless) into 2 THOUSAND... IS galling, and the truth SHOULD be pointed out - in due time.
More importantly, though, it should be noted how many times Mayor Ray Nagin has tried to bury Governor Blanco AND the Democratic party every time he's had a chance to PARTICIPATE with the party.
More below the fold...
Let's see... he endorsed Dubya's waterboy, Bobby Jindal in the last gubernatorial race here.
He also not only endorsed, but CONTRIBUTED to, George W. Bush in 2004.
I haven't exactly seen him speak out in support of Blanco in negotiations with (republican supporter) Tom Benson, the New Orleans Saints owner, either. Benson and the Saints benefitted from his "good ol' boy" buddy (former G.O.P. governor) Mike Foster with a sweet-heart deal. The Saints get paid at LEAST $10 million annually from the state, along with all the concessions and parking and suite perks he's groveled for to "make ends meet" for the Saints. And for that, the state gets the HONOR of his team playing in THEIR dome for next-to-nothing. Oh, and the "team" has a yacht?
Has Nagin stood beside the governor on that? No.
Has Nagin stood beside the governor when the White House was pointing blame at her? No.
Did Governor Blanco have jurisdiction over those buses, Ray?
No.
Fuck off, Ray. Pardon my french, but he only "became" a democrat when he decided to leave the boardroom of his business to run for mayor.
