Post #2 in a series

Karen Gadbois: Media queen

Edit: Also... kudos to Adam Nossiter for putting in the NYT what we've all been either thinking or saying about the Mayor's paranoid press conference.
Mr. Nagin made it clear he was not pleased with the report, especially because it was broadcast when a high-level Congressional delegation was in town. With the cameras rolling, he said it was “completely untrue” that federal money had been misspent on work never done.

“It’s got to stop,” the mayor ordered the reporter at a news conference, referring to what he called “the gotcha mode,” and accusing the reporter of hurting the city’s recovery. The charge is akin in New Orleans to being accused of a lack of patriotism.


Meanwhile.. a big FUCK YOU to Nossiter for continuing with his agenda of demonstrating the innate inferiority of native New Orleanians

It helped that Ms. Gadbois is an outsider, an energetic relative newcomer from Boston — she came here in 2002 — with a professed love for the city that easily outpaces the resignation of more established residents.


Update: Karen's album is due out this fall. The NYT article provides us with a preview of the cover art.
