Carlos MENCIA is being a TOTAL a-hole about Gays-in-the-military.

TOTALLY disgusting. And I've cut him a LOT of slack on his crap before.

1. He lost me with his Katrina schtick

"I'm glad Hurricane Katrina happened. It taught us an important lesson: black people can't swim."
–Carlos Mencia

If you think the title of this post is funny, you are probably a fan of Carlos Mencia, or likely would be. Here on Toulouse Street we are not quite so excited to see he was selected as one of the celebrity riders of Harry Connick Jr.'s Krewe of Orpheus. But it does take some cojones for Mencia to come down and ride on a float in the city he suggested it was stupid to rebuild....

Personally, I want everyone in New Orleans to see the above quote and to vid the clip cited below, and for the NOPD to suggest to Orpheus that they can't afford to protect Mencia’s sorry ass on the night before Carnival.

Hey, Carlos, if you actually have the endocrinal fortitude to show up, I just want to let you know: We Are Not OK, still, all these years later. But we are not going anywhere. We are rebuilding right here, so you can come down and ride on a float in Carnival. A couple of cautions: stay off of Bourbon Street, don't drink anything in a funny shaped container, and, oh yes: some of us throw back.
