Without it, you can influence few people, except for maybe you, RCAJUNRUNNER. Going forward, can you give me another governor that made great strides? I don't think so. - queenbee Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:56:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9189 Edwin Edwards also had charisma. How did that work out? Oakdale anyone? - RCajunRunner Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:56:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9188 Oh "charisma", yes, we still need that, because Pres. Obama's "charisma" the media raved about has worked so well, right? - RCajunRunner Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:56:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9185 I disagree-TOTALLY! While I do agree he is a better speaker than Piyush, he is not the best--no charisma. I wasn't moved at all. I saw him on television about two weeks ago ( 3 or 10, I forget), but he stumbled all over the place. I didn't attend the rally, so the verdict is still out for me on this one. - queenbee Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:42:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9183 It was fun to hear some "ol' school speech-ifying" Here is a You Tube video of it 3:10 is about when it gets really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0dnEafuVyA - Lucius Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:23:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9178 Cajunhiker, I've since been informed by another reader that Angelle did indeed say "incarcerate," which makes sense. My bad. - Walter Pierce Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:48:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9177 The message was that tax money from oil and gas helps to pay the bills to "Educate, Medicate, Rehabilitate, and if all else fails Incarcerate". - Cajun for Drilling Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:11:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9176 Scott will be governor one day, and it can't come soon enough for me. - yesidoknow Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:04:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9175 I inquired about who wrote his speech, am I'm told it was a compilation of past speeches written by him and his DNR staff, with new verbiage from his Lt. Gov. staff, but most of the speech came from his brain. He owned it. I made a similar comment as you. If he had moved his arms and hands during the speech, he would have reminded me of Huey Long. All he had to do was pound his fist on the podium or in his other hand. Maybe next speech he'll do this. As an aside, I bet he would have out-polled Gov. Bobby Jindal in a statewide approval rating the morning after the speech. BTW, I believe you pretty well captured the moment in print with your analysis: "I suspect Scott Angelle could raise an army reading the periodic table" and "He could have called the audience to the stage to be saved, and I would’ve floated dreamily up for my come-to-Jesus moment." Good stuff. Just to clarify: "“You tell the American people, in the oil and gas business, you help to educate, levitate, rehabilitate, and when all else fails, incorporate!” I’m not sure exactly what that means — “and when all else fails, incorporate” — but when you lay the rhyme on me, I’m putty." I thought he said, "incarcerate!" although I don't know how people in the oil and gas business help America by incarceration. So, maybe it was "incorporate!" - Cajunhiker Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:30:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/6639-the-cajun-mc#comment-9174 Must be something with the planets aligning, because I actually agree with Walter's op/ed this week. Scott Angelle could be the next Governor of our state. - RCajunRunner Wed, 28 Jul 2010 06:01:46 +0100
