Ray Nagin should DIAF

[jtk1519]

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor Ray Nagin says he was only joking when he suggested that Hurricane Ike evacuees should request a discount — the "Nagin special" — when they stay at New Orleans hotels.

But when evacuees got baffled looks from reservation clerks, some didn't find it funny.

Nagin's remark prompted a hotel association to send an e-mail urging business owners to make appropriate accommodations in the spirit of cooperation. The association also said Saturday that it is against federal antitrust laws for hotels to collectively agree on rates.

Nagin says in a statement it was a joke and just "my attempt to lighten the mood."

One Texas evacuee told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that it "was not a joking matter when you're running for your life."

What f'n tool. The fact that the people of New Orleans actually reelected this moron AFTER his incompetence cost the lives of his own people during Katrina, is just more evidence that the city of New Orleans is a disgusting and ignorant wasteland. :Censor: that nasty city and it's dumb:Censor: mayor.

I kinda went Keith Olbermann with my rant, but I don't care. The man essencially lets people die because he's too busy playing politics and being stupid and the very people he tried to let die reelect him. Morons.

You see that too?

That has got to be the most ignorant man in political office I have ever seen. And like you say.....to have people re-elect him?!!!! What does that say about the State?!!!

It's worse than the people of Washington D.C. reelecting Marion Berry. All he did was get busted doing drugs with a hooker. Nagin actually killed people with his incompetence.

Ray Nagin is the man. I don't know what you're talking about. Firebird is down with Ray Nagin and I think he should replace Sarah Palin as McCain's VP.

This shtick of yours has got to come to an end. I will not have you defend Nagin... not even in a joking manner.

The man who called New Orleans a chocolate city. It amazes me the double standard we have today. He should have been run out of town.

The chocolate city with a nut as their mayor. Maybe they should change their name to hershey town:D

Nagin is all that jtk says. We still have hundreds of Gustav evacuees in our area - and he cracks a joke when Texans make the mistake of seeking shelter in NO. He is indeed all that.

New Orleans had serious negative growth before Katrina...Under Nagin they just may get it down to him and four drunks on Bourbon Street....But at least he'll get their votes!
