Its Official, New Orleans is Now a Real Banana Republic

Our "esteemed" Governor Kathleen "drew a" Blanco has issued an executive order indefinitely postponing the mayoral election originally set for February 4. I guess we can all now refer to Mayor Nagin as Mayor for Life Nagin.

Of course, if Mayor for Life Nagin changes his party affiliation to Republican, I suppose we can expect new elections post haste.

UPDATE: C.B. Forgotson adds his two cents here.
