I lived in NO just prior to Katrina, and I thought he was pretty good at the time, too. Katrina exposed what a trainwreck he really was.

I found the bolded quite interesting...

Despite New Orleans' reputation for political shenanigans, Nagin is the first mayor in the city's history to be indicted by a grand jury on corruption charges.

Hope he ensures that Angola will remain a "chocolate" prison.

Relative to other N.O. mayors pre-Katrina, I have no reason to believe that he was anything but great.
That he was doing something illegal as a NOLA politician is just common knowledge, and not really even newsworthy. That he actually got indicted for it is newsworthy, and probably a sign that the political culture over there is changing a lot.

It's a set-up. He was framed.
