Crooked is as crooked does

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is calling on former residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to claim their old city addresses in next year’s census, drawing criticism for trying to circumvent rules for winning federal funds.
The mayor—encouraged that New Orleans has thrown off its post-Katrina malaise to become the U.S.‘s fastest-growing big city by percentage—wants the U.S. Census Bureau to grant an exception for its former residents, currently living elsewhere, who want to rebuild homes in New Orleans.
There’s one problem: The mayor’s plan is illegal, according to the Census Bureau. Federal law requires the Census Bureau to count all U.S. residents where they reside as of April 1, 2010, when the nationwide tally will begin.

There shouldn’t be much to worry about, as I am sure ACORN will use their pull in the census to help straighten all this out.

Scratch a democrat, find a thief.

There is a shock; Nagin is a piece of work, I am sure it’s probably Bush’s fault too.

Chief RZ,

If he was capable of being shamed he would not be a Democrat.

“…The mayor’s plan is illegal,…”

You are wrong, it would only be illegal if a Conservative did it. Since these are Lib’s, it is okay…they mean well, not like those nasty Republicans.

Anna,

Congratulations!

Dishonest Democrat. What else is new? Shamefully dishonest.

Anna! Tsk. Tsk. Steal is such a nasty word!
Accurate and appropriate, perhaps, but nasty nonetheless! Heh.

Chief RZ,

Isn’t it more properly Teddy “swimmer” Kennedy? And don’t by any means forget Robert “Sheets” Byrd.

The list is too long. But. They reflect their constituents and therefore voters.

Rodney, correct. Look at Teddy “bridge” Kennedy, Bill “is” Clinton and WJ “cold cash” Jefferson. We have a Governor who admitted his sin and published an apology in The State Paper a few days ago. All have sinned and fallen short. The difference is that some do not acknowledge their falling shorts. oops. I did not intend to type that, but will leave it like that.
