Not only would would she not address reporters, she kicked them out when they asked questions! Oh, the horror of a reporter asking a question.

WDSU Investigates tried to ask Cantrell about her travel at a photo opportunity for a separate unrelated event.

"Reporters were not allowed to ask question. When WDSU Investigates did try to ask questions, microphones were taken from the table and reporters were dismissed from the event."


imagine if a Republican politician pulled this.

"literal dictator" 24/7 coverage until they stepped down.

Member when folks on the O-T (mostly from New Orleans) were saying there was no way she'd win re-election and arguing with those of us saying she was going to win again in a landslide? Which she did. That was awesome.
that was one guy

Cantrell also talked about what she referred to as disrespect for her and her position, alluding to some recent public rifts with other council members.

"It's taken me aback, I must say. It's disrespect and respect is due a dog."


seriously, what is with urban black culture and their continuous obsession with comparing themselves to canines??

to Jim Acosta for a being a needy douche. And it was a national headline and Jim wrote a book crying about it. totally the same thing.

meanwhile, President Potato head only answers pre-written questions from specific members. When he can be bothered to do a press conference or his staffers allow him to.

slightly different treatment from the media tho. weird.

How is the BR mayor these days? Haven't seen a thread about her in a while.

SWB is sitting on 84 homicides for EBRP as of yesterday.

WTF is the mayor of a shite city going to Singapore for? Doesn't make any sense. She should fly to New Orleans East and fix the problems there. Or the lower 9, or fix the crime anywhere else in HER city. Stupid USELESS BITCH.

Your city has one of highest murder rates in nation (if not world), your police department exodus and 911 response time of over 2hours is in absolute crisis mode, yet you are flying to the opposite side of the world to invite one of the cleanest/safest cities in the world to be your "sister city".

How many signs of poor leadership are in here?

1st - what is more important than your citizens' safety? People are being dragged to their death in car jackings in irreverent, lawless brazenness, yet off you go to opposite side of the world?

2nd - 3 International Trips with entourage displays lack of judgment and prudence at best and demonstrable ineptitude at least.

3rd - lack of awareness of Singapore's reputation for Safety and Cleanliness (and no-nonsense approach), juxtaposed by your city, the one you offer as their "sister-city".

Meanwhile, someone was likely car jacked while I typed this and, if still alive, waiting 2+ hours for the police to arrive. Sister-city world class stuff, huh? Brain dead leadership of the world class variety.

Maybe the news station emailed the conference folks about her speaking there and they sent back the snoop dog "who?" Meme.

"It doesn't matter where the Mayor is, whether she's here or whether she's on an international trip bringing the culture of the city and all the genius that we have to other parts of the world, we're always focused on doing the job of the Mayor of the city of New Orleans," Communications Director Gregory Joseph says while defending the Mayor's frequent flyer habits.

And it's very important for her to be doing these jobs.”

Crazy part is if the actual republican voters would just show up on election day, the city would probably flip. Especially if a candidate worth a shite actually ran for some of these positions


This is what I don’t understand. Looking at the turnout numbers from a high level it seems very possible that an attractive R candidate could win if he/she had solid political infrastructure/ funding.

I guess no one competent wants the job.

I think Singapore was a speaking engagement, not a sister city trip

The "machine" is essentially set up such that it can and will get as many voters as it needs. There's no point in spending resources to round up more than necessary.

Oddly enough, Nagin's first election was probably the only one to buck it in the past 40 or so years.
