Nagin: CIA's gonna rub me out
2005-09-04
EFL
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said he's feeling better about his city, he feels confident he has gotten the attention of Gov. Kathleen Blanco and President Bush, but he said he fears the Central Intelligence Agency may take him out because he's been yelling at these officials. Last night he told a reporter for the Associated Press: "If the CIA slips me something and next week you don't see me, you'll all know what happened."
Apparently, they've already slipped him something, like LSD.
Today he told interviewers for CNN on a live broadcast he feared the "CIA might take me out." Nagin resorted to vulgarity and profanity yesterday in his pleas for help. But he was actually calmer today, despite the hyperbole.

#14  I was going to make a serious comment. But after reading comments #3, #5, #9, and #10, I'm laughing so hard, I just can't do it.

The Angry Fliegerabwehrkanonen,
Please provide the link to the interview, if you find it. I am very interested.

#13  Check out LittleGreenFootballs and its link to junk-yard-dog blog. Mucho school buses -- like 146 of them -- went unused by Mayor Nagin's city gov. Could've saved thousands.

Sometime today NBC's site should have Campbell Brown's bitchslap of Mayor Nagin that aired early this morning. Wow!

#12  s being mental a requirement to be a Democratic Pol?

Apparently, yes.

That's why Lieberman did so poorly in the primaries; he's too sane. Kerry, with his rich fantasy life, was the only one crazy enough to be acceptable to the base and still be trusted not to drool on his shoes during debates.

#10  Cut the man some slack. His dealers are gone. He can't get to Baton Rouge for backup with all the media around. Withdraw is painful.

#9  Nagin's a graduate of the Hugo Chavez Academy of International Diplomacy, Paranoia Press, and Truckdriving. Summa Cum Non Compos Mentis, methinks.

For him to even jokingly make these comments like these to infer that would even be a possibility shows his stupidity. For God's sake the MSM will run with this story.

#3  The military intervention in NOLA is a quagmire. Thousands are dead, resistance continues from Democrat remnants, and Nagin has still not been captured.

#2  Don't worry, mayor, your injuries are self-inflicted, and smacking of paranoia.

Image, this guy was elected to office three years ago as an "outsider" businessman who was going to set the city on the right course.

The grim reaper must be proud of you, mayor.
