Help me figure out which is funnier

Is it the fact that Mitch Landrieu's "hand-picked" chairman of the public-private insider's club New Orleans Business Alliance is running an illegal special event rental? Or is that his legal business is even more lame and arguably more criminal as well?

Coaxum, who owns and operates several McDonald's franchises, said he had no idea the business venture violated city law and immediately stopped renting it as a vacation home, though he continues to use it to house visiting business associates -- at his own expense -- and as a long-term rental, he said.
