Here's a job that sane people wouldn't want. Being the mayor of hurricane-ravaged New Orleans, Louisiana. Even if you win, you lose

Today is election day, and there should be some results posted very soon.


OK, so who's it gonna be?

Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin

-OR-

Mitch "Kennedy Dynasty" Landrieu

We all know the inept, outspoken Nagin....but who's the white guy, Landrieu?

"Landrieu, who served 16 years in the state House before being elected to his current post ( Lt. Governor) two years ago, says his strength is his ability to bring people together.

The scion of a political dynasty known as Louisiana's version of the Kennedy's, he's the brother of Sen. Mary Landrieu and would be the first white mayor in a generation, since his father, Moon Landrieu, left office in 1978."


Both men are Democrats, which is important because New Orleans is gonna have to spend a lot of federal dollars - and we all know that Democrats are skilled at spending our tax money.

Looks like Nagin won.

heh. Now he has to ask the federal government for cash. The same federal government he blamed for the deaths of New Orleans residents.

I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him.
