“My wife says that roads and bridges are a woman’s problem if you will. Because oftentimes it is the woman – aside from commuting to work – who’s also taking children to schools or doing the shopping. And the more time that she spends on that road, the less time she spends doing things of higher value.”
—Louisiana’s own Repugnantcan US Sen. Bill Cassidy, on Meet the Press Sunday. A throwback to barefoot and in the kitchen? You can file this under “WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?”
“My attitude was: it was put-up or shut-up time. If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bulls**t.”
—Former Attorney General William Barr, in interview with The Atlantic on his finding there was no election fraud as the former guy insisted.
“Campaign accounts are not personal slush funds. They must be used for campaign-related activities. Attempting to overthrow and election you just lost is not a proper campaign activity.”
—Jordan Libowitz, communications director for campaign finance watchdog organization Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW), on failed congressional candidate Derrick Van Orden’s use of leftover campaign funds to finance his participation in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.
Louisiana Voice 
Colbert has much fun at the expense of both our Senators on a regular basis, including last night.
One (JNK) has gone power mad or, perhaps, just mad. The other at least makes an effort to do some good and is not a member of the 45 cult, though he does seem to try to curry favor with its members. He has actually accomplished a few things, mostly through currying said favor with 45 and his cult members. JNK has accomplished nothing despite trying to be a leader of the cult.
We deserve better, but who is going to step up and show the courage to represent us effectively rather than pander to and encourage the often hateful and destructive delusions of the 60 some percent of our population who refuse to face the real world and for whom reality bites.
Yes, we certainly deserve better, but unfortunately, too many of our citizens suffer from “Foxitis.”
