The attitude is a Louisiana thing, “Laissez les Bontemps roulet.” They’ll tolerate some indiscretions by their political figures, so long as it doesn’t overtly and negatively impact the state.

Thanks for the clarification y’all ;)“Laissez les Bontemps roulet,” I get. Have never heard the term libertine to describe LA so was trying to understand what you were saying. Crystal clear now and have a new term to use in English, ha.

Though Vitter’s indiscretions are embarrassing, he has been elected and done a good job. So the term fits. His Baton Rouge office is awesome. Visited quite a few times during the Obama care debacle and his office peeps were very accommodating. He hires good peeps.
