Ray W. Nagin?

May 21, 2006 | 9:30 PM

The WH press shop thought what Nagin said after his victory was so important, they re-sent the quote to their entire press list. From one of their "In Case You Missed It..." releases:

Mayor Nagin: "I Want To Thank You, Mr. President"

Remarks By New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin

May 20, 2006

MAYOR NAGIN: "I want to thank you, Mr. President. You and I have probably been the most vilified politicians in the country. But I want to thank you for moving that promise that you made in Jackson Square forward. We now have $3 billion for levees. We have $8 billion for incentives. We have $10 billion for housing. You are delivering on your promise, and I want to thank you for all the citizens of the City of New Orleans."
