| Editor's Note: CenLamar has some background info on the activities of the Draft Stormy folks at DC Mardi Gras.
 Washington Mardi Gras is being held this week, so the folks behind the Draft Stormy movement decided to make Draft Stormy beads to hand out amongst the political elite attending the event.
For those unaware of what Washington Mardi Gras is, here's The Advertiser's take on it:
For many of the more than 2,000 Louisianians who've come to Washington to participate in a swirl of parties and receptions, this Mardi Gras is all about business.
It's not known how many deals are cut over hors d'oeuvres at the hospitality suites that Louisiana cities like Lafayette and Shreveport operate in the Washington Hilton - the main site of the Mardi Gras.
Former Sen. Russell Long firmly established a tradition in 1957 by forming the Mystick Krewe.
During one of the festivities, presumably at the Washington Hilton, there were many, many beads handed out and worn quite proudly by patrons. Amongst the revelers in a Draft Stormy effort are:
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-LA-01: (although admittedly, he seems confused)
Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-LA-06:
Who knew even the Republican Members of the Louisiana House delegation are as eager to insert some good ol entertainment into next year's Republican primary?! |
