Man, he's lost it.
Serious, man. He's absolutely lost it.
He's got a home in Texas, why doesn't he just move there? They won't try to "stalk his family" there.
At this point, he honestly needs help.
Yeah, sure he's evil, he's corrupt, and he's a jerk, but today he proved he's also mentally ill.
Paulsen: I hear from a lot of reporters, press people, they say that the mayor is just not accessible to the media.
Nagin: How much more accessible can I be? You ask me to come on every other week on this show, I’ve done that.
Paulsen: You’ve been very good about that.
Nagin: I’m out in the community.
So now, Nagin is using the Clay Davis defense. Brilliant, Clarence, just brilliant. You don't have receipts because you were handing the cash to the poor! You don't have time to be accessible because you're busy being accessible!
The Aryan Nation is after you? Sheeeeee-it. It's the white and black folks that live here that you lied to that want to see your head on a stick. Put it at the city line as a warning to others.
Nagin: I have busting my butt bringing this city back.
Anything to keep the brand out there, bitch. I guess what we would call "campaigning" and "fund raising" you would call "busting your butt".
Paulsen: You’ve gotten a lot of heat over the past couple of years. I’ve never seen you this emotional.
Nagin: Well because, your newscast, the local newspapers, are feeding these awful, ugly talk shows that are feeding these blogs. If you go look at some of these blogs out there and some of the stories that come from the paper and you read the comments, it’s some of the most vile, angry, people that I’ve ever seen in this community.
Paulsen: Are you concerned about your safety.
Nagin: I’ve got coverage. If somebody approach me wrong, I’m going to cold cock them. That’s the bottom line. You can come with that foolishness if you want, but you’ll see a side of Ray Nagin that you haven’t seen.
I want to see that side, See-Ray. The side I haven't seen.
The honest, competent side.
Evidently, nobody else has seen it either.
OK, first, if it's the NOLA.com forums, yeah, they're racist idiots. If it's the NOLA blogosphere you're talking about, then you are once again as delusional as Eddie the Eagle.
Pretty much every single thing we write is backed up with references. The only thing making you look like an idiot is that guy that looks back at you in the mirror. You've had chances to avoid the appearance of impropriety, but you'd rather make sure your buds got their kickbacks.
And if you try to cold cock me, See-Ray, I'm gonna knock your wormy egotistical ass back to Texas.
Oh, and Clancy, who, BTW, endorsed Nagin and endorsed PBJ, thinks that we're the wahoos. Clancy, more people read my blog in a day than read yours in a week. You are such a supreme egotistical self-righteous schmuck. But thanks for writing!
Finally, Clarence, if this picture puts you and your family at risk, then you deserve every little bit of it, you twit.
Update: The yellow blog and Liprap have textual and visual listings of others to be "cold-cocked".
I can not imagine the love and sttrngeh of spirit not to mention sheer stubborn determination that those who are rebuilding NO must have.Not to mention the patience to NOT tar and feather every single politician within reach.

I agrre with all my heart.Please do not confuse my eiarler post wiht any sort of condemnation of this timely health care reform program that we, as a nation, need so badly.I, myself, dragged my left leg around lie a dead seal for almost five years, waiting for any sort of social security or medicaid program toconjur me a metal joint replacement. No private doctor or hospital would touch me for less the about 70 thousand dollars, yet Earl K. Long's medicaid program got me one the best orthopedic surgeons in the state, and my entire stay, surgery and recovery included, was about 25 grand. Without these subsities, many would simply die.My eiarler point was only that, as we deal with a Nation struggling for financial recovery and trying to take care of those in real need, a city run by pigs, clamouring for every fucking morsel, while hard working people suffer like dogs, is an obscenity too great to be allowed to continue at any cost.

Wow. May 3rd? Really? Then Criswell Predictse2€a6!New Orleans has had two huge floods in the past, years apart, and both were on May 3rd. I think there will be aneothr May 3rd flood on the day Roy Nagin leaves office due to the tears of joy we'll all be crying!
