| All three broadcast network evening newscasts on Friday night ran short items on the federal corruption indictments against the bumbling former Mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, but skipped his party affiliation, a fact Reuters considered newsworthy – if not until their sixth paragraph: “Nagin, 56, and a Democrat...” ABC anchor Diane Sawyer generously described Nagin as “the face of Hurricane Katrina...then the Mayor of New Orleans fighting for his city.”

Nagin was more like the rear end of Katrina as he sneaked off to Texas

The article says Nagin blamed the federal government for Katrina problems. However, no one mentions it was the local authorities who by law had to act first and did not. The media, always so anxious to blame George Bush, did so and thus was born a myth that lingers still today.

Nagin: Just another two-faced, disingenuous, double-dealing Black defecrat taking advantage of the dumbed-down, barely aware, dope-smoking, self-absorbed, media-influenced, celebrity-obsessed, Food-Stamp wielding, Escalade driving, Kool-Aid drinking, government-dependent, entitlement rich, busted-azz, free-loading, Obamaphone carrying Low-Fo Mo-Fo´s...

After Obama even Jackson, Sharpton and Nagin will refuse to identify themselves as Democrats or even black, brown or chocolate.

He maybe indicted but he will never be convicted especially if the trial is held in New Orleans IMHO. First there is jury nullification remember OJ. Second he´s black and a Democrat therefore CRT applies. All law breaking black Democrats politicians are given a pass just like the Black Panthers no matter the evidence.

#2 you make a great point, and not only does that myth still hang around today, Gov Krispy Kreme made it relevant in the 2012 election with his photo op with Obama. That myth, yet another one Bush and ROVE never ever fought against, might have cost us another four years of Obama seven years later.

Nagin, who refused to implement his city´s evac plan (remember all those school buses under water?) because he and his cronies stole (yes, stole) Cadillacs from a local dealer and drove out of town; they weren´t there to give orders. More disgraceful, in the aftermath, Nagin and then-police chief Eddie Compass ordered cops and Guard to disarm everyone in New Orleans. "No one will be allowed to be armed" were the exact words. Thousands of firearms were taken without cause from law-abiding citizens illegally.
This was the nation´s largest confiscation in history.
Nagin should have gone to prison for his misdeeds.
As for the media, their behavior is unsurprising. More people wake up to the fact ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and most printed media are propaganda arms of the collectivist left.

Nagin fought for his city from Dallas Texas. He was the first to abandon New Orleans, and has been in Dallas since. Nagin, although a job requirement of his office, never prepared or filed a disaster plan for New Orleans. Nagin was elected because he is black. After election, he used his office to profit personally with bribes and kickbacks on government contracts to blacks and whites. Money being green, Nagin is ok from whence it comes.

The networks are all on the same page. The only way that happens is, a) they conspire together to do so, or b) they obediently take receipt of the DNC fax and publish its contents.

I guess I can understand why black folks voted for a brutha for his first term, but I will never understand how they voted him in for a second term. He bailed out on the city worse than any mayor ever bailed, in the history of the world. Yet he was reelected. Absolutely amazing.

Sadly, the Wall Street Journal did not disclose the "Nagin" party affiliation either.
We subscribed to five newspapers several years ago. We are down to one. If the WSJ keeps trying to break the NYT by becoming more like them, we´ll soon be down to 0

The media conveniently forgets that Bush spent serious phone time with Governor Betsy wetsy Blanco at least 24 hours before the storm hit. She refused to ask for fed assistance because she was worried about looking bad. Another epic failure for feminism.
The reason Nagin gave for not using the buses was that it was too demeaning to put black people in them. He actually said that. So the means of rescue for a lot of citizens was ignored and wound up destroyed because Nagin was an idiot.

The Internal Revenue Service controversy dogging President Barack Obama is hardly the first time a White House and the tax agency have been accused of political meddling and bias. Over the past week, Republicans have been trying to link Obama to what the IRS has acknowledged was improper extra scrutiny of conservative political groups seeking tax-exempt status. That’s despite the fact that little — if anything — has surfaced to suggest White House officials had advance knowledge of the IRS actions. The line between IRS misconduct and the Oval Office appears less fuzzy in IRS political incidents in previous administrations.

Charlotte-based Belk Inc. found itself in the middle of an online battle between political partisans this week, when an ad featuring the company ran on conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s radio program. The fight highlights the fine line companies walk with advertising and social media. The ad featuring Belk was apparently first noticed Monday by a group on Facebook that monitors Rush Limbaugh’s advertisers in an effort to pressure the talk show host financially. On Tuesday, the liberal website Daily Kos mentioned the ad in a posting. People started posting messages on Belk’s Facebook page protesting the ad.

The White House held an off-the-record briefing with reporters on Friday afternoon to discuss recent revelations about the Benghazi investigation, sources familiar with the meeting tell POLITICO. The meeting began around 12:45 p.m. and postponed the daily, on-the-record White House press briefing to 1:45 p.m. White House press secretary Jay Carney did not respond to a request for confirmation of the meeting. The off-the-record session was announced to reporters in the wake of an ABC News report showing that White House and State Dept. officials were involved in revising the now-discredited CIA talking points about the attack on Benghazi.

President Obama has ordered his Cabinet officials to praise Obamacare when giving speeches at college commencement ceremonies, even as the president’s aides fear that poor implementation of the law will tarnish his legacy. “To counter the criticism, the White House has told all Cabinet members and senior officials to use commencement speeches to drive home for graduating college students and their parents the benefits they gain from a provision of the law that allows young adults to stay on their family’s insurance plans until they turn 26,” Bloomberg reports.

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

The Republicans, apparently with nothing better to do, are still chasing their tails over the tragic events in Benghazi on September 11.Actually, no. That’s not true. They’re chasing their tails over what happened after the tragic events of September 11. They’re mostly concerned that the Obama Administration tried to cover up the fact that this was a terrorist attack by a local militia (translation: local street gang) which aspired toward bad-butt Al Qaeda status. This is a pretty hard sell since, the day after the attack, the President called it an “act of terror.”

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
