Ray Nagin is a Tweet!
Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across Ray Nagin on Twitter. It only took a moment to realize that someone is having a blast satirizing the Mayor. I know its low hanging fruit, especially as he rages and squirms in the face of the NOAH scandal that is mushrooming beneath him. Still, this is New Orleans and we love good satire.
Twitter’s 140 character limit produces some interesting short form content, and “RayNagin” is a really amusing example of this. With the biting comedy of the New Orleans Levee as an easy local yardstick for comparison it fits in nicely.
Here are a few of the gems:

Go check it out, even if you are not on twitter just looking at the archive grows more and more amusing as he tweets. (And if you are on Twitter you can also follow HumidCity should you choose!) I just love the fact that he lists Dallas as home city i the profile. Ten out of ten!
Hat tip to Alan for pointing it out!

If you have a Latino accent, indeed, he is a “tweet”, though it is spelled “twit”!

It is rather funny.
I think “raynagin” could Tweet once an hour, every day, and always have new material. The source is rich with it.

Like I said, low hanging fruit but great for a laugh.

I am going to follow that one like a great white on a surfer’s ass.

I laughed. Then I roared. Then I blogged it on Gambit (with full credit to ya, of course). Lord!

Sometimes keeping the brand alive means changing the name. Maybe I should change mine to Altria?
