Its only been a few days but I doubt there are many people out there who haven't heard the completely absurd comments made by Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin. To be stupid enough to come out and declare the historically multi cultural city of New Orleans "a chocolate city" is the most racist and irresponsible comment I've heard come from a politician ever. Then to come back in an interview with a reporter and say "You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk and it becomes a delicious drink." was equally crude and a slap in the face of every other race which contributes to what New Orleans is. Top this off with him coming forward with all this bigotry during the celebration of the birthday of the man responsible for the break through in knocking down racial walls and you have a first rate idiot who has no business running a major city.

Missed your chance to Guiliani yourself

You want to talk about screwing up a great opportunity to really put New Orleans on the map for something other than Mardi Gras and great food? Nagin had a chance to become the next Mayor Rudolph Giuliani all he had to do was not open his mouth with absurd thoughtless comments. Really this guy has a PR staff doesn't he? Shouldn't he have people who screen what he's going to say and advise him that suggesting one race is going to dominate a particular geographical area isn't a good idea? Thats blatant racism and I hope he's wiped out any real advancement future in politics he had.

Ray Nagin shames New Orleans and Louisiana

Talking with friends, family and passing lunchtime conversation it is widely thought that Nagin brings great shame upon our already bruised and battered state. How could such a thoughtless and irresponsible person such as Nagin(I haven't forgotten Blanco) come to such a high position in our government? Louisiana has needed this sort of attention for some time. People need to realize that we're not electing officials who want to lead our people but merely hacks who are only interested in their own petty politics and not the good of our state. We are shamed by the fact that we have ineffectual personel in the most key areas of our government and that has to change.

Ray Nagin resign and move to Texas

Please just go away Nagin and do no further harm to us. The rest of the country is already looking at us as a bunch of helpless, foul mouth racists so I don't think there is much more you can do here? I remember reading that you purchased a home in either Dallas or Houston so move there. Or is it not chocolate enough there for you?

Blanco you can go away too but that would require you making a decision. Too bad you'll just have to wait and lose the election.
