Sweet Like Chocolate

More twat news...New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin has stirred up a bit of a hornets nest out here. He said that God (here we go again) sent the recent Hurricanes as punishment for Iraq, but that God wanted New Orleans to come back as a 'chocolate city', meaning it was for blacks. Can you imagine if a white mayor of any city said that a place was a 'vanilla city' i.e for whites only. How long would that mayor stay in office? Mind you, who would be stupid enough to want to live in a city that is several metres under sea level, that is prone to Hurricanes?! Mayor Nagin is quite welcome to his chocolate city! Talk radio has been set alight over here on the comments and CNN has been evaluating the remarks. Mr Nagin had agreed to an interview on CNN this morning, but pulled out at the 11th hour (6:30pm) due to an 'emergency meeting'. CNN is currently broadcasting from outsde the upmarket restaurant that Mayor Nagin is having dinner at - must be some emergency! So, I nominate Nagin as twat of the week


Also in the news tonight, HilaryClinton said at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history.

Responding to the speech, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called her remarks "a little bit over the top."

"I've never run a plantation before. I'm not even sure of what kind of association she's trying to make," said the speaker, a Republican from Illinois. "If she's trying to be racist, I think that's unfortunate, but I'm not going to comment any further on that."

So Hilary has earned a 'twat nomination' too.

Heh Heh! Martin Luther King Jnr Day...Im sure if he were alive today, he'd be spinning in his grave! Its a crazy, topsy turvey world, and Im proud to be part of it....
