If he's guilty of what he's charged with, looks like it, hope they throw the book at him.

I always hate it when Cops or politicians get convicted yet the judge gives a lighter sentence for their "years of public service..." yet they were using their authority as a servant of the public to commit their crimes. If anything they should be punished harder.

I am waiting to see what happens to Gov. McDonnelled and Gov. Christie...LOL

But I agree, those in positions of power like police and politicians should be held to a higher standard.

all politicians are a lot worse than "dirty". or to put it more clearly "the only good politician is a dead politician".

i mean, it wouldve been better had mccain, romney, and obama all died in 1979 so they couldn't duke men from behind.

Gov. "Fast Eddie" Ewin Edward = convicted and spent years in prison.
Rep. "Cold Hard Cash In Da Fridge" Jefferson = convicted and is spending years in prison.
Multiple Insurance Commissioners = convicted.

And so on. Corrupted bastards.

Who was the last mayor of New Orleans who wasn't indicted for something?

Nagin is the first mayor in the city's history to be indicted by a grand jury on corruption charges.

Ironically, Nagin, 56, a Democrat, was elected in 2002 largely on the strength of his promise to reform a City Hall that was widely perceived as a den of cronyism under Nagin's predecessor, Marc Morial. His administration began with denunciations of municipal corruption and a crackdown on the beleaguered city's Taxicab Bureau, including arrests of numerous cabbies -- one of them the mayor's cousin -- and the head of that department.

But the taxi cases fizzled for lack of evidence.

Not saying that the others weren't crooks. But Nagin is the first to be prosecuted.

Couple of questions.

Why 1979?

What's duking a man from behind?
