Louisiana, Jindal's Pride and Joy. Really?

This oil-covered pelican was photographed Saturday at Queen Bess Island in Barataria Bay.

The latest complaint from Jindal, whom is trying to make political game for the GOP, is that he hasn't received any monies from BP.

Hm.

Does Louisiana have an attorney general?  Just curious.  Let me see.

You betcha. 

James D. "Buddy" Caldwell.  (click here)

The question is whom's 'Buddy' is he?  He doesn't seem to be the friend of the Louisiana citizen. 

There are a lot of AGs around the country trying to make political 'hey' out of suing the federal government, but, one has to ask how pathetic they really are.

"...The legislation would ask Caldwell and Jindal "to hastily determine the parties who are at fault in this incident and then timely pursue actions against such parties...."  (click title to entry - thank you)

The Louisiana Legislature had to ACT in order to have the attorney general and governor of Louisana bring a suit for the people of the state?  Amazing.  It is easy to tell they aren't Democrats.

I like Eliot Spitzer.  I always liked Eliot Spitzer and I can't imagine not liking Eliot Spitzer.  I am quite confident this blog holds some severe tones in regard to the venture by him into scandal.  When was his resignation, anyway?

Governor Spitzer served from January 1, 2007 until March 17, 2008.  Isn't that St. Patrick's Day?  March 17th?  Yep.  Two days after the "Ides of March."

And the New York Times was explaining the Wall Street Bailout on September 20, 2008.

Q. The bailout program being negotiated by the Bush administration and Congressional leaders calls for the government to spend up to $700 billion to buy distressed mortgages. How did the politicians come up with that number, and could it go higher?

Yep.

Just about six months after the former Governor resigned, Paulson played his hand.  Odd, huh?  And then to realize the former Governor Spitzer was guilty of nothing.  NOTHING.  The Mann Act.  It was such a joke.  The media was vicious over NOTHING.  Odd, huh?

Well, that is getting off track.  You see if Eliot Spitzer was AG in Louisiana, Jindal wouldn't be making politcal 'hey' out of the tragedy, he would be bragging about the monies his citizens were receiving from BP, Transocean and Halliburton.

But.

That isn't happening, is it?

Not really odd at all, huh?

See, Jindal could not give a hoot about his citizens.  He would applaud BP drilling two feet away from the most productive fisheries in Louisiana.

Seriously. 

"Drill here, drill now." 

I actually believe Jindal's stock portfolio' needs to be examined.
