Ray Nagin needs to go

[Ghoulish Delight]

I sincerely hope he gets voted out in April. Is anyone else as offended by his most recent comments as I am? Let's examine them, shall we?

"I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day," Nagin said in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech. "This city will be a majority African-American city. It's the way God wants it to be."

And by way of pathetically trying to justify the "chocolate city" crap...

"How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about," he said.

Now, that's marginally offensive, actually quite laughable. I'm don't even want to get into the debate about public figures using such questionable racial terms...it's this next bit that really has me going.

In his speech, Nagin also said "God is mad at America," in part because he does not approve "of us being in Iraq under false pretenses."

"He is sending hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it is destroying and putting stress on this country," Nagin said.

Did I miss something? Was he posessed by Pat Robertson while I wasn't looking? That sh!t angers me. What an irresponsible, pompous comment to make.
