Stormy Wants to Listen to Palin

From Politico: Baton Rouge native and award winning business woman, writer, director, and actress Stormy Daniels has invited soon to be former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin to have a conversation on women and sexuality in politics.  In other Stormy news, professional mouseketeer Chad Rogers appears to be smitten with Stormy, taking back his earlier insults after a sweaty appearance alongside Stormy at Politics with a Punch.  The gloves didn’t come off, but his jacket sure did.

Vitter Wraps Noose Around Dardenne Bill

From the Advocate:  Louisiana Secretary of State Jay Dardenne blames, among others, disgraced Louisiana junior Senator David Vitter for the death of his bill eliminating party primaries for minor political parties.  “Apparently the junior senator has some concerns (that) I’m somehow trying to change the rules because somebody believes it is going to be advantageous to me,” Dardenne said.

Vitter: No family values this time

The life of Senator Vitter is indeed an interesting storyville.  As part of his desperate campaign to salvage his tarnished image, disgraced Louisiana junior Senator David Vitter has launched a new website for his dwindling campaign for reelection.

Stormy Daniels not fan of Landrieu either

According to The Gambit , at a listening tour stop in New Orleans, Baton Rouge native and award winning writer, director, and producer Stormy Daniels, a potential candidate against disgraced junior Senator David Vitter, is also not particularly fond of Louisiana’s other senator, fighting and winning Mary Landrieu.

Kennedy Education Policy: Push-ups and Wall Staring

Apparently unaware that the dodo bird has a more active heartbeat than his political career, State Treasurer John Kennedy emerged from whatever rock or self help group he has sought refuge in since his latest humiliating defeat  in his latest failed bid for United States Senate.  According to the St. Tammany News, Kennedy spoke before the Northshore Kiwanis Club in Mandeville earlier this month. 

Although there has been no reporting of the crowd estimate, it is assumed that perennial candidate Kennedy, as usual, drew a packed house.  While there were, surprisingly, several interesting moments in his speech, apart from obligatory references to cowgirl halls of fame and brown tree snakes in Guam, the highlight was Treasurer Kennedy’s visionary solution to solving our nation’s education problems.

When discussing what to do with students who are resistant to learning, Kennedy argued that teachers should put them in another room and make them  “do push-ups or stare at the wall…”.  As of this reporting, it is unknown where the clearly still confused State Treasurer developed this advice from, as push-ups and wall staring appear nowhere on Wikipedia’s education reform page

Also of note during this speech was Treasurer Kennedy’s claim of inflation accounting for 27% of the increased budget of the State of Louisiana in the past decade, despite saying throughout his most recent senate campaign that “except for healthcare, inflation has been pretty tame over the last ten years.”  Even more confusing is Kennedy’s assertion less than 3 months ago that inflation has increased 37% over the last 10 years.

Never known to be good at math, a frightening thought for a state treasurer, clearly, John Kennedy still has a lot of learning to do.  But of course, it is nothing a few push ups won’t solve.

The Hill: Vitter a “Four Year Old”

From The Hill: In a survey of all 99 Senators, colleagues to disgraced junior Senator David Vitter placed him in a group of 3 other  immature senators known as “a bunch of 4-year-olds.”  No word yet if this childish label has anything to do with the attire Senator Vitter is known to wear when in seemingly private company.

Jindal considering challenge to Vitter

According to Hot Air, it was reported on the  previously recorded Chris Matthews Show for this Sunday that Louisiana Governor and world traveler Bobby Jindal is considering a primary challenge to disgraced junior Senator and unindicted co-conspirator David Vitter.  Hot Air goes on to speculate that a nasty primary fight between the Exorcist and the Customer could open the door for a third, non-tarnished candidate.  Hot Air maintains that this candidate could very well be Baton Rouge sensation and award-winning writer, director, and actress Stormy Daniels.  As far as has been reported, Stormy Daniels has never been an unindicted co-conspirator in any criminal prosecution, nor has she ever met anyone named “Sue”. 

Jindal rebuked in home district

From The Gambit, jet-setting Governor Bobby Jindal is dealt a major setback following the results of the special election in State Senate District 16.  Jindal’s embarrassment over his enthusiastic support of oddball businessman Winston Lee Domingue, who lost by more than 30 points, is a cause of concern for the Governor as he heads in to the upcoming legislative session.  No word yet on how this major defeat for Jindal will effect his ambitious agenda this session of increasing penalties for child molesters and his brilliant idea to balance the budget, eliminating ergonomic chairs in government offices.  Sources say Domingue is considering asking Jindal to give back the over $100,000 he donated to the governor, as he  obviously did not get what he paid for.

Jindal’s bad year about to get worse

From the Times-Picayune: Between his grandstanding and lying about federal unemployment assistance and breaking his word once again and endorses fat cat contributor Lee Domingue in the GOP primary to fill Congressman Bill Cassidy’s Baton Rouge State Senate seat, Jindal’s friend base at the Capitol is turning into a hostile mob.
