Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, contacted the governor's office on Aug. 30. He wanted Blanco to call him back to discuss Katrina.
"This might be one we should return as soon as possible," Paine Gowen, an executive assistant to Blanco, wrote in an e-mail.
Louisiana deserves better than this leftist militant moonbat communist goveror
When U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a black Democrat from California, requested security escorts for a New Orleans visit, the head of state police denied the request, saying troopers were busy elsewhere.
Johnny Anderson, an assistant chief of staff to Blanco, warned colleagues to be cautious in dealing with Waters, who is often outspoken about race.
"Please handle this very carefully," Anderson wrote in an e-mail. "We are getting enough bad national press on race relations."
Worried about PR instead of saving lives
While there are some good, reasonable people in that state, the majority voted for this governor, and a host of other politicians like her.
And, will probably continue to do so. So, they get what they deserve.
Louisiana still has two distinct classes, the elites, and the serfs, and hasn't changed much over many decades.
Now why would a return call to Chavez be that important? I really would like Mr Gowen to explain that one. In detail. Under Oath.
Actually, no, Blanco is considered a "conservative Democrat," certainly by national standards. She comes out of the popular J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., school of LA politics.
No kidding. Good grief.

The interest in Chavez probably has nothing to do with his political slant but the deep involvement between LA and Venezuela in the oil importation and refinery business. EG, Citgo.
