It's just too bad he got tangled up with the Tea Party. There should be a program like AA for recovering teabaggers to wean them off the stupidity. - Mr_Lafayette Sat, 17 Sep 2011 19:07:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9003-pooyie-09142011#comment-22073 I'm proud to been an American. You might even say I am a patriot. But currently, I am not very proud to be a southern Louisianian. Thanks Landry! Do us a favor and change you name to Clinton or Kennedy if you are going to continue embarrassing us. - Lafayette Thu, 15 Sep 2011 19:37:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9003-pooyie-09142011#comment-21999 "teabaggers" don't have a monopoly on being churlish little snots. Environmentalists, for example, have been known to stage riots and loot. They're not just "tree-hugging sissies" anymore. Labor Unions are pretty churlish, and even downright violent. At least Landry didn't actually threaten to take the sons-of-bitches out. As theIND has reported right here, the EPA and other government regulators can also be VERY churlish--just ask Hubert Vidrine. And reporters/journalists/op ed writers can be pretty churlish, as Walter proves on a near weekly basis right here. You may not like Landry's style, but his point is well taken. Jim Cramer broached this subject with Tim Geithner in his interview this morning, and Geithner said that the government was "open to anything that will create jobs". Well, call me crazy, but I find Geithner and Obama hard to believe when people who work in the oil industry describe a de facto moratorium, headlines this morning say 20 more rigs could leave the Gulf of Mexico, and the administration is "focused like a laser on jobs". Yeah, I can see how Jeff Landry is the problem here. - ragin_cajun Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:47:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9003-pooyie-09142011#comment-21996 Jeff Landry is a newly-elected official who is not ready for prime time... but his simplistic ideas and solutions appeal to T-Baggers, and he makes them feel like he is one of them (which he is). His expression in that photo says it all. - yadumonde Wed, 14 Sep 2011 07:42:08 +0100
