In an unprecedented instance of a Louisiana politician being accused of corruption, former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin has been charged by a federal grand jury with 21 counts of corruption as foreseen by David Simon in his documentary Treme !
That was the all-time best campaign slogan ever. And I don't say that lightly. Being Chicago-born and bred, I got high standards. When Harold Washington ran for mayor, voters began sporting campaign buttons showing a watermelon with a red slash over it and other buttons that were all white, with nothing on them.
I was thinking of a certain eminently-indictable former chief executive.
Shocking...
Would someone pass the gumbo?
right. exactly.
Everyone in low-lying zones of New Orleans?

Hard to feel too bad for Nagin. If there were any real justice in the world, "proud chocolate city" would be an indictable offense.
That would be perfect - talk about deserving one another!
When you're the actual reason it's how shit gets done, you're corrupt.
