The mayor of a city with a team in the Super Bowl should be in attendance.

The particular city should pay for the mayor's atttendance.


Without question. I just laugh at the people freaking out over this.

The only thing, I'd love to hear that interview, because the quotes just kinda have Nagin coming off as he feels like he is too good to sit with the "common folk"

I don't live in New Orleans or even really know this guy...

But I'm glad he's going to the Superbowl and all... but really; buy your own damn ticket. Your a governor.

(Governor, right?)

Ray Nagin headed to Super Bowl XLIV on taxpayers' dime
"The Saints have come through. I got some good seats," the mayor told WBOK radio.
"I paid for them," Nagin told host Gerod Stevens before correcting himself. "Well, the city paid for them because this is an official visit, a business trip."

"I got some good seats"
But it's a 'business trip.'
Yee--eah. OK.
Nagin is a gaping bleeding babboon rectum.
He has done about as much for New Orleans as
Lee Harvey Oswald.

I'm with Sheek. He's the damn mayor of NO. It's really not that shocking that he got some free tickets (isn't that what it is all about?). I can't believe people are making a stink about it. This is the same tempest and a teapot as Jindal flying on his helicopter to churches. He's the #$#%# governor and he is actually making trips to North Louisiana. It's about as typical as politics can get.

He could have made the garbage contract guy pay for everything..or the levee board mafiosos. I mean, shouldn't he include such picadellos in the fund raising scams like Jindal does.
