You've never met Kathleen Blanco. One of her daughters is married to one of my old frat brothers. The entire family looks down their noses at the "common man". Imagine a female version of Judge Smails from Caddyshack. She's every bit as snobbish, and every bit as inept.
Your post confirms my suspicion. People of her ilk exploit the people they disdain for their own gain. Her actions clearly convey her total disregard for the very people who voted her into office. And we hear complaints about racism?
