Ray Nagin told businesses "come back to the Big Easy..."

... and "let the good times roll..."

This was, I think, Thursday, when I saw him on CNN during my lunch hour.

What he should have said was, "although the city is a flooded wasteland with a hundred thousand ruined houses, where even the surviving part of town still hasn't vaguely achieved normalcy, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come back, even though you won't have any customers, because I really liked being mayor of an actual city, and I'd like to be re-elected with your tax money."

Pathetic.
