When it comes to Louisiana politics, extreme cynicism always seems to be the order of the day. No other state can brag about a comparable record of consistently failing to punish unethical behavior in its politicians. I mean, what does it say that David Vitter expects (probably correctly) to be reelected and is far ahead in the polls? Why did it take two elections to defeat William ‘Freezer Cash’ Jefferson? And, most importantly for current affairs, why does Mary Landrieu think it’s good politics to fluff British Petroleum? I mean, isn’t that a bit like Mayor Guiliani trying to tell us that al-Qaeda is just misunderstood?
What’s With Cajun Politics?
