Dear Tom Letter

Jan 29, 2010 by

As our city infrastructure crumbles around us, Mayor Nagin still has not received the Superbowl tickets he feels should be his by divine right. According to the mayor, in an interview on WBOZ radio, he has all the tickets he needs, plane, hotel, etc, but not actual game tickets.

According to C Ray: “I just thought …that as mayor of the city, I would go to the (Super Bowl) as a representative of the city and of the Saints, and it wouldn’t be an issue…” A representative of the Saints?

Mayoral spokesman Terry Davis says the mayor will bill his trip to Miami, to the City of New Orleans as a business expense, as usual.

Governor Bobby Jindal already has his tickets, purchased through the Saints and all his expenses will be paid for from his campaign fund at no cost to the taxpayers.

    Jeebus AITCH!?!??! The man (and I use that term VERY loosely) has NO shame, no propriety. In fact, I think his moral compass has become utterly de-magnetized as he is brutally useless as a ‘leader’ (cough!).
    He needs to disappear before he incurs any further costs to the City of New Orleans that he purports to (gag) ‘represent’…

  4. He’s the Mayor, he can afford to pay for the f-ing tickets himself! This is like Jindal’s church trips around the state on the taxpayer tab- unacceptable!

  5. Dude, the Walking Id lost his sugar daddy, aka, Muppet Meffert.

    Transparency and accountability are SUCH a bitch.

  6. I think it’s hilarious that Nagin’s attempts to avoid transparency have turned him into the most transparent sonovabitch in the city.
