Yes, we will pay for whoever he brings with him. We will alsopay for wherever his wife decides to eat. Noladude, you must understand, the politicians who are the champions of the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, are "special." They do not have to pay taxes, they can jet around and be driven in huge SUVs, they are special and are entitled to be exempt from the very same things they condemn if you or I were to do them. Once you understand that, you will no longer be confused. Written by da ansaws

FLord helpo us. If Nagin gets chance to speak, he'll find a way to further disgrace New Orleans. It seems to be the only talent he has. Are we paying for him to take his personal Sanitation Director along too? Who will feed his wife while he's gone? Written by Noladude
