If you need any help identifying the types who drink the Piyush Kool-Aid, you need only log onto The Hayride http://thehayride.com/.
The blog, with the help of ultra-connoisseur of eau de Piyush Jeff Sadow, has consistently stood on the sidelines and applauded attempts by the administration to privatize state agencies, gut state employee retirement, dismantle public education, slash higher education budgets, cripple health care for the poor of Louisiana and even the firing of LSU Healthcare System director Dr. Fred Cerise.
Through their rose-colored glasses, they can see no wrong in what Piyush is doing to the state and, apparently, see no wrong in what he is doing for his political campaign supporters.
But now The Hayride has set itself up for a bit of ridicule. Gentle ridicule, but ridicule, nevertheless.
In today’s blog posting http://thehayride.com/2012/12/in-case-you-arent-freaked-out-enough-about-the-threats-to-your-kids/ includes a video that has gone viral on the internet. The post is entitled “In Case You Aren’t Freaked Out Enough About the Threats to Your Kids…” and includes that now-infamous video of the bird (supposedly an eagle) swooping down to grab an infant playing on the grass in a park only a few feet from an adult, supposedly its mother.
The only problem is, the video is a complete fake and The Hayride got taken in by it the same way it consistently gets taken in by the Jindal administration.
In fact, the bird isn’t even an eagle and the entire sequence is computer-generated. Even Diane Sawyer on ABC News Wednesday night called attention to the flaws in the video that quickly identified it as bogus.
One who watched the video on The Hayride immediately responded with one word: “Fake!”
That viewer was none other than former LSU All-American quarterback Bert Jones of Ruston.
We’ve had more than a few readers say the same about Piyush.
But apparently, however, The Hayride still believes.



The Jindalites see the world through a prism of hate, ignorance, and prejudice like most Republicans, so the fake eagle is fun to us. Remember, the calling of a costly special session to rid us of corruption (line up his contributors), lied about the LSU report re Industry coming to La., flew US Jets over the capital at inauguration (great toys, not a clue about the actual use of Air Force Jets, pushed a bill to punish convicted child molesters even beyond their sentence, and all the while singing praises about children, family, and yet after this shooting, not a word except I am sure he and Teepell are doing their private audit trail to see if the NRA can still secretly contribute and they have passed and pushed the 2nd amendment lunacy to insure La. has the strongest bill to arm the loonies with 30 clip army weapons, to be ready when the government takes over or arm our teachers. and this makes them feel big. They are soooo right even when they are wrong. This is really a mental health issue. The entire Administration is frigging nuts. ron
Don’t be so quick to judge as this did happen. It occurred shortly after a herd of pigs flew by the field. Don’t know what happened to the eagle but the pigs all landed at the Louisiana Governors Mansion!
I am so glad this happened to that know-it-all SOB. I made the mistake of making one post to the Hayride. Never again.
