Really funny stuff!
– Jon Huffman, ABC26 Good Morning New Orleans
NEW from Karen Ocker, illustrator of The George W. Bush Coloring Book . . . the Ray Nagin Coloring Book lampoons Mayor C. Ray Nagin’s imaginative words, featuring 19 crisp line drawings inspired by on-the-record quotes like “this city will be chocolate at the end of the day,” “I stand before you a vagina friendly mayor,” and “[violent crime] keeps the New Orleans brand out there.” The coloring book draws from memorable post-Katrina moments like the Mayor’s swine flu quarantine during a recent trip to China, his trips to Jamaica and Hawaii with former chief technology officer Greg Meffert, the fate of the Mayor’s emails, direct flights to Cuba and the ongoing federal probe into crime camera contracts.
