I am on record here as saying the political class here is corrupt. I am in agreement on that.
You are misreading my comment. I was addressing those who are assuming that every citizen down here is of that ilk.
And callng me Mary Landrieu like is an insult. I was calling for Landrieu's impeachment the day after the storm.
The "locals" are not the "local politicians",,that is my point.
Amen, cajungirl. I lived in Lousiana from 58 to 93, and I will vouch that we are NOT all like Mary Landrieu or the other people playing political games with people's lives for power and wealth.
You said "... spewing all over us down here, and I would like to slap every blasted one of them silly." That is almost exactly the essence of what Mary Landrieu said.
My antennae go up when I see people circling the wagons around a "group" and daring people to criticize the "group". So I was attacking that notion which I abhor. I still have family in New Orleans. Where do you live?
