How 'bout that!

Very interesting...

His voting base now lives in Houston, Texas. His Mayor and Governor now utterly hated by most Louisiana voters. A wise move.

[RegulatorCountry]

And he'll have the added advantage of being so outta there WTSHTF, lol.

There's a lot of $$$$$$ coming his way. He did his job in preventing the Feds, and making the Pubbies look bad. Not he gets to clean up on the gold strike down South.

... And there's plenty of people to fleece with engineering and construction contracts. Much more profitable than running a corrupt state political party with the full spotlight of attention on it.

(With best fingertips tapping on his chin look going on)Umm, let's see....do I want to stay in a no-win dead-end job kissing up to the likes of Howard Dean, or....do the getting' while the gettin's good?

[planekT]

Well looky here.

[Snoopers-868th]

Getting ready for his windfall. Amen!

Koneschusky said Bernhard is so busy in the hurricane reconstruction and recovery efforts that "he doesn't even know what's going on politically."

"and pigs fly and the moon is made of green cheese."

So I guess he owns one of those evil corporations that will profiteer from the rebuilding efforts?

The Louisiana RAT party is the most corrupt that this nation has ever seen. I used to be a Louisiana RAT (I soap myself an extra 5 minutes per shower) and know just how deep and corrupt they are.

Although the Louisiana RATs have lost some US Congressional and 1 (one) Senate race, they rarely loose state elections. They own the House and the Senate and the Governorship.

In summary, they are bulletproof until the people of Louisiana have had enough, which I see no evidence yet.

Perhaps this storm will result in a major demographic shift against the RATs.

VERY in-ter-est-ing!

Ruh, roh. Now, just how much time will Nagin and Blanco do behind bars for their incompetence and criminal negligence?

"Democratic Party Chairman Jim Bernhard stepped down from the leadership job Friday, saying he needs to focus on his engineering and construction company — which is heavily involved in Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts. "

Sounds like the sounds of "KA-CHING!" were too loud to have his attention diverted.

[Muzzle_em]

$teping down to focu$ on hi$ engineering company which i$ heavily involved in the Katrina di$a$ter rebuilding effort.

[hoosiermama]

Since you've been there, Was his company involved in any of the canal/ lock/ levy work?

[stylin19a]

"GREED IS GOOD"

[abb]

ROFLMAO!!!

[jw777]

Read: I can make a lot more money and I won't be investigated in the failures of the response while sitting in this position.

Blanco, Nagin. You're turn.

[dfwgator]

...and the money kept rolling in...
