Umm . . that might not be the best approach.
Ray Nagin is the mayor of New Orleans. After the hurricane, the democrats started looking at him like he might be the next glory boy for the party. Then he started talking crazy about his "chocolate city" and sort of spiraled down into the depths of "I'm-talking-and-I-can't-shut-up" idiocy.
Here are some excerpts from the Reuters story today:
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Shortcomings in aid from the U.S. government are making New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin look to other nations for help in rebuilding his hurricane-damaged city. . .
Jordan's King Abdullah . . . visited New Orleans on Friday and Nagin said he would encourage foreign interests to help redevelop some of the areas hardest hit by the storm. . .
"France can take Treme. The king of Jordan can take the Lower Ninth Ward," he said, referring to two of the city's neighborhoods.
Not too sure that the right approach here is to give the king of Jordan control of redeveloping the Ninth Ward. And given the billions of US money already pumping into the city, isn't the better idea to use it and then ask for more (like congress could say no!)?
Seriously, if you are the democratic party, how fast are you running away from this guy? He is like a republican's dream opponent. If the dems run Hillary and this idiot, I think the republicans might go ahead and run Bush again.

Besides the fact that the man is racist, I think the fumes from the raw sewage in New Orleans is affecting his brain. The guy obviously lacks the little voice in his head that says: "Maybe I shouldn't say that out loud?" The dems should run far far away from this guy (then again maybe they should put him on a ballot, he would make an easy target).
We're smater than that.
Unfortunately, this man isn't.
