The Great Gall Of China
By Wyatt Earp | June 11, 2009
The Chinese quarantined Ray Nagin for fear that he was infected with the swine flu. Funniest story . . . EVER!
I missed this story because I was on my golf trip at the time, and when RT sent me the details, I nearly drove my golf cart off a cliff.
I almost did that, of course, because I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t see.
New Orleans, Louisiana, Mayor Ray Nagin, who was quarantined in China after possible exposure to the H1N1 virus, was released Wednesday to continue an economic development trip.
Nagin told CNN he had left the country in the morning and was headed to Australia.
The mayor had been quarantined since Sunday after flying on a plane that also carried a passenger who is being treated for symptoms suspected to be from the virus, commonly known as swine flu, his staff said. (H/T – CNN)
It’s a good thing that Nagin was cleared, because there are no chocolate cities anywhere in southeast Asia. Heh.

As a New Orleans native, I found it downright hilarious.

Wyatt:
OT but does the city count those three accident victims last night as murder victims? I am asking because the PPD website reports only 2 murders in the last 24 hours.

When I read about this, I was hoping they’d keep him.

I was hoping they would put him on exhibit somewhere and keep him…. indefinitely.

Doghouse – I figured you would be laughing all the way to work.
AJ – Probably not. Ramsey has been doctoring the homicide numbers to make himself look good. That’s not speculation. It’s a fact.
Mrs. Crankipants – I did, too.
Deanna – I guess the Chinese are smarter than we gave them credit for.
Admiral – Celebrity Deathmatch!
