Mayor sorry for 'chocolate' comments

So was Wal-Mart ... but at least their gaffe was due to a computer program, and didn't come straight from the horse's mouth. But perhaps neither did this remark - which end of a horse do you suppose Mayor Nagin most closely resembles?

Mayor Ray Nagin on Tuesday apologized for urging residents to rebuild a "chocolate New Orleans" and saying, "You can't have New Orleans no other way." "I'm really sorry that some people took that they way they did, and that was not my intention," the mayor said. "I say everybody's welcome."
