That could not happen to a more deserving person. He is directly responsible for many deaths by turning away evacuation buses. He should rot in hell, but Federal prison works, too.
From the article: As part of the alleged bribes, Nagin's family members received a vacation in Hawaii; first-class airfare to Jamaica; private jet travel and a limousine for New York City totaling $23,500; and cellular phone service, the indictment said.
Cellular phone service? Now that really burns me up. I bet he got unlimited texting too.
Nagin was not just a lib dem product. He received a lot of support from all stripes of the NO political spectrum. He was more a corrupt used car salesman than a hard core pol. He had not really done anything politically before getting the mayoral post and looking a fool from then on.
That being said, I don't doubt that he could be re-elected. Corruption has never been a disqualifying resume item in politics.
