The Hill provides an interesting read on the hottest thing to hit Washington since the Marc Foley scandal, Louisiana Senior Senator Mary Landrieu’s New Media Coordinator, and JSTOR enthusiast, Dan Toffey. Details after the jump.
ABC News is reporting that Louisiana Congressman and unsuccessful candidate for a  British Lordship Charles Boustany will deliver the Republican response to President Obama’s address to Congress Wednesday evening.  The obvious line here will be that Lord Boustany is unlikely to ask Governor PB&J for some pointers.
While it was expected for disgraced Louisiana Junior Senator David Vitter to follow Stormy’s lead in traveling across Louisiana and listening to the voters, we at the Reduct Box were surprised that Stormy’s message of electing someone with honesty, integrity, and strength of character is resonating not only with the people of Louisiana, but potential candidate for Mayor of New Orleans John Georges. Read more
Politico reports that reported “dead man walking” Joseph Cao has shifted his rhetoric on President Obama in a recent fundraising email where he bashes the President and calls himself a “conservative”. We’ve reported previously about Cao’s efforts to tie himself to Obama, recognizing the realities of his Congressional District. Apparently, the Congressman has abandoned the bluring the lines strategy in favor of one resembling Bonnie and Clyde.
While it is hard to believe that Jet-setting Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal could be even more embarrassed than he was after “The Speech” Mardi Gras Day, it appears that he suffered another humiliating rebuke at the polls after his candidate in the District 20 State Senate special election lost. Bobby, when it comes to persuading Louisianans, apparently unlike the rest of America, you can’t quite do anything!
Xbiz is reporting that the misdemeanor charges filed against potential candidate for Senate and award winning writer, director, and actress Stormy Daniels have been dropped. Stormy is expected to announce by the end of summer whether she will challenge disgraced Louisiana Junior Senator David Vitter.
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.
We at the Reduct Box, like most people in Louisiana, generally ignore the the generalizations made by University of Louisiana at Lafayette “Professor” Pearson Cross. Yet, we had to stop and reflect at his latest statements to  WWL, who strangely enough asked him for his “analysis”. We must admit, even we were shocked by Mr. Cross’s inability to…um…read. This guy’s a professor right? Full story after the jump.
A few days ago, we referenced a post our old buddy Chaz Rogers over at the Dead Pelican wrote after the launch of the DraftStormy movement, and then asked whether he would put his money where his mouse is at Politics with a Punch this weekend. Well, things get a little more interesting after the jump.
Last week, Bayou Buzz reported that this Wednesday night, at the venerable monthly tradition of Politics with a Punch!, award winning business woman, writer, director, and actress Stormy Daniels will join the prestigious ranks of Kathleen Blanco, Jim Bernazzani, Jeanette Maier, and Chad Rogers?
From the Times Picayune, apparently disgraced Junior Senator David Vitter is taking credit for Louisiana Senior Senator Mary Landrieu’s opposition to a public option for healthcare reform. This is another in a long string of “victories” the unindicted co-conspirator/Senator from Louisiana has claimed over Landrieu.
Considering their personal history, not to mention Senator Vitter’s active campaign to defeat Senator Landrieu against that guy who always runs for stuff, it is surprising to most in Louisiana how Senator Landrieu has worked so hard to please Senator Vitter since the election.
