What a surprise!

...it´s Bush´s fault!!

Jefferson needs a cellmate

Chocolate Penitentiary.

I hope they find him a nice cellmate, like the feds did for Jim Bakker, whose roomie was Lyndon LaRouche.
If irony could drip.

Nagin didn´t do anything that the other democrats don´t do. Democrats taught him the ropes.

Exactly # 4!

I am shocked! The ´chocolate´ mayor of New Orleans? Say it isn´t so - it is so uncommon to see this kind of behavior among the saintly Democrat party members.

/es (off EXTREME sarcasm)

The writer didn´t mention nagin´s party affiliation. It´s probably just an innocent oversight. As opposed to a deliberate attempt to hide the fact that nagin is a democrat. /sar

Dems were crooks as far back as FDR...and no doubt long before then!

No!!!

6....5....4...3.... Countdown until race card is played.

School Bus Ray Nagin, a democrat taking a bribe, I can hardly believe it!!

Chocolate-town! Remember that bs? Crook! Liar! Thief! George Bush was right! Vindication! Katrina was Nagin´s fault, and that inept Governor, not GW´s...the corrupt enemedia LIED through their teeth, along with all the dimwit demoRATS! Vindication! Put this crook in the slammer forever! Bye bye Chocolatetown, hello bend over and get it in the ***-town! LMAO!

Shocked, stunned...what ONLY 21?

All these crooked black mayors were endorsed by their local papers over and over again. Detroit Free Press endorsed Kwayme twice even though a blind man could see he was totally corrupt. Now Detroit is spending many millions to "bring him to justice" again. He was fined 850K at his last conviction and ordered to pay $500 per month. That means he will be 193 years old at his last payment and the purchasing power of the dollar will be less than a penny. Some justice.

I love a nice game of "guess the party" on a Friday afternoon.

I believe Mr Nagin´s family "relocated to the Dallas area" somewhere around mid-2005.

Oh, and the word "Democrat" appears nowhere in the article. Congrats to the NOLA paper for their strict adherence to the AP Style Manual which prohibits identification of Democrat party miscreants (although any connection, albeit slight, to a Republican, conservative or Bible-believing Christian must be prominently noted).

To add to #16´s comment - my absolute favorite was Marion Barry - caught on *tape* smoking crack with a hooker...

And how many times after that was he re-elected as Mayor?

Ya´ gotta´ love what passes for ´ethics´ in liberal affirmative action land...

Yeah, there´s a shock.

He will love Angola.

What else is new?

Just more minority led politics in action.

He didn´t hang out with the Arkansas gang enough.

someone tell that so called comedian K.West his pal Nagin is corrupt...

You can´t blame Nagin he was just tryin to keep Na´lins a Chocolate City.

#9 took the words right out of my mouth. If this had been a Republican the party affiliation would have been in the headline.

It was a choc-o-late kickback!

Well,isn´t this interesting.Our sheriff just got re-elected despite the fact that he has a 50 count indictment against him.Our school board was so contentious and inept that the all schools in our county lost their accreditation.Welocme to my world.
Clayton County,Georgia.Sheriff Victor Hill.

Those silly editors forgot to mention party affiliation, /s

Well # 1 stated my opinion before I could say jack rabbit.

New Orleanians have been waiting for this day for a long, long time. Those who voted for him the first time did so because they believed him to be an honest business man. His second election was won dishonestly, by allowing people to vote by fax, etc. After Katrina, everyone who remained in New Orleans wanted him gone.

I remember how he locked himself in the bathroom of Air Force One after Katrina. The Secret Service had to coax him out.

Buried is fact that ACORN´s headquarters and Wade Rathke were both located in NO.
This was a coordinated Lieberal attack on GWB.
The deaths in NO were due to Nagins failure to evacuate city-he was afraid he would lose his Base.
Press covered for him.
Stealing from the children.
Now that he is gone they are learning in new Charter Schools that the union thugs are trying to kill.

Now we know why all those school buses sat in the parking lot - -

- - Nagin was waiting for a payoff to release them.

Let see he is a far left liberal democrat from one of the most corrupt cities in the nation and you say he took bribes, WHAT A SURPRISE, I am astounded, what a surprise. The bigger surprise of course is that the propaganda media is reporting it; I mean he is a Democrat.

I wonder how much he made of the New Orleans free money government money run provided by his fellow corruptocrats in DC, the whole time telling us how bad it was in the 9th ward, even after refusing to evacuate the area and of course blame it on Bush.

Eric Holder (Head of the Cesspool) will not prosecute "his kind" remember, or maybe the incompetent will just bury it like the deportation of Obama´s aunt and uncle until quieter time to cover it up.

Nagin is currently expressing an interest in ´green energy´ which appears to be the last refuge of scoundrels.

Nagin had the NOPD confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens. He should already be in the penitentiary for that stunt.

No party affiliation and in another story a disclaimer where they said this was in no way related to Katrina.
Ummm yeah. Lessee here...He was corrupt before Katrina, after Katrina, but not during Katrina. Yup, got it prestitutes...

Can you say "resume enhancer?" Ray´s just keepin it real for the homies. Got his street cred now.

I haven´t seen a Black DemocRAT politician yet who was not corrupt, either Mayor, Governor or even pResident. It just seems to run in the genes. Plus no accounting for the corrupt mainstream media that always covers for them.

Hope they throw the book at him, and he does hard time making small rocks out of big ones. But on a related note - is there such a thing as an honest politician?

#18, while people in New Orleans were still searching for the bodies of their loved ones, while people were living in tents and moldy houses and bunking with friends and family (not even toxic trailers at that point), Nagin was in Dallas with his wife and children, buying a comfortable house for them to live in. That was before Thanksgiving, as I recall, when he then took his family for a vacation in a Sandals Resort while New Orleanians had very little to be thankful for.

Nobody knew that Nagin was solaking up the sun at the Sandals resort in Jamaica until I chanced upon an article in a Jamaican newspaper that noted his arrival. Nagin´s sponsor for that second of two trips turned out to be Greg Meffert of NetMethods (a city contractor, as I recall)--and it cost him around $6500. I expect that´s in the indictment too.

Where was the first trip?

Hawaii.

Welcome to the New Orleans cesspool. Home of the Bribe-ors, and the Bribe-ees. This has been going on in N.O. for over a century, so why didn´t the Feds go after this during the last 100 years? Was it because Katrina shed a spotlight that could not be bribed away? Or maybe Dubya´s on his horse now? Whatever it is, stay tuned, because thousands of roaches are probably running from the spotlight. Should be fun.

Looks to me ol´ Ray must have upset obama´s delicate sensibilities. Thats only way eric holder would have allowed this to proceed without the obligatory coverup.

I´m shocked, I tell you. Shocked!
