So the Sinning Senator, afraid to piss off the voting bloc he's banking his entire re-election campaign on, dispatches his spokesman to say the following about Tangipahoa Parish Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell:
"First, Sen. Vitter thinks that all judges should follow the law as written and not make it up as they go along. Second, it would be amazing for anyone to do a story based on this fringe, left-wing political hack's blog - he's been handcuffed and detained in the past over his guerrilla tactics."
Notice how he can't say anything about Mr. Bardwell's actions? He's sidestepping the issue, afraid to piss off that voting bloc. As for the second point of his spokesman, isn't it amazing that the Opelousas Daily World, the Baton Rouge Advocate, and the Alexandria Town Talk, all conservative newspapers, deigned it important that the Sinning Senator comment on the issue by comdemning Mr. Bardwell's out of step vision for our society.
I'll have more about that voting bloc once I finish a book called The Two Americas by pollster Stanley Greenberg.
