State Senator Ann Duplessis (D - Wants Money), who spearheaded the recently vetoed legislative pay raises (though, in fairness, she initially wanted to quintuple salaries, not double them), says she is disappointed - at Governor Jindal for vetoing the pay raises; at the "overstated" opposition to the raises; and that she is unable to tell "the other side."
What?? Unable to tell the other side?????
Listen, lady - you're a Senator, for pity's sake!! Call a press conference. Call someone at Channel 4. They know who you are. I am sure A LOT of people would love to hear the "other side," and wouldn't charge you a silver dime to tell it. Really.
Can't afford that - heck, email me. I got a couple of friends in the media - I'd be happy to arrange something. If that doesn't do it for you, I'll let you post something here at RSR. No questions asked. No "PR budget" expenditures required.
UPDATE 02JULY08: No response from the good Senator. Probably too busy helping folks understand how to do business with Hollywood. First thing to understand - you'll never get on the A-List on only 16K a year.
UPDATE 03JULY08: Still waiting.
UPDATE 04JULY08: Nothing yet. But I'll give her a pass since it's a holiday.

Hey Cliff - I wonder if Ann Duplessis really buys that crap about it only being a couple of radio show hosts who "stirred" up all this trouble for her. Guess she thinks the voters are just plain stupid and unable to think for themselves. Something tells me they'll be a lot smarter at the polls next time around. :P

Sadly, I think she does beleive it. Our state seems to be blessed with pols utterly bereft of political accumen - from a Senator who thinks tripling her salary immedately is no big deal, to a governor who wouldn't stand up to it until pushed to do what he promised.
Leadership is, as leadership does.
