Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.....

Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, the businessman-turned-politician who became the worldwide face of the city after Hurricane Katrina, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday.

Nagin, 58, was ordered to report to federal prison Sept. 8. Nagin, also ordered to pay restitution of $82,000, was found guilty Feb. 12 of fraud, bribery and related charges involving crimes that took place before and after Katrina devastated the city in August 2005.

Nagin, based on sentencing guidelines, had faced a possible sentence of 12 to 30 years.

Isn't he the one who was paranoid during hurricane Katrina that President Bush would have him taken out by the CIA ?

He won't have to worry about that now.....His biggest concern will be fighting off his new roommate - Ben Dover...

With a little luck his Bubba cell mate will be a huge chocolate fella who really digs him and is insatiably horny 24/7.

Good old Nagin. "Chocolate City"? How about the 'Hersey Highway' instead?
Black politicians are genetically predisposed to end up in jail.
They don't have the IQ's to 'keep it in their pants' fiscally. For them it's like waving a pound of 'blow' in their face. No self control. Endemic HPD hard wired into their genes.

He's got two months before he has to report to prison. Now would be a good time for him to sign up for a crash MMA or boxing class ... lol

MSNBC has already signed him to replace Sharpton when he get's out.

Nagin is a scumbag, he's perfect for MSNBC (and prison).

That sounds very racist of you. What's up with that?

 

[whitehall]

Doesn't a conviction for political corruption and the sentence of 10 years for the mayor of the Katrina ravaged city vindicate Bush for his slow FEMA response?

Way to distract from what a scumbag Ray Nagin is. Don't worry. Most people will completely skip over your post to attack Democrats.

That's because Bush couldn't fire Nagin and Governor Blanco, who totally fucked up the state and city response.
