UPDATE: Lamar over at CenLamar emailed me 5 more questions, which are below.

Tonight, our illustrious President will join Governor PBJ and Sinator Vitter to host a fundraiser for Democratic Republican Senatorial Candidate John N. Kennedy in the hopes that he can win the Republican nomination for the right to face Senator Mary Landrieu. In honor of the Bush/Jindal/Vitter fundraiser, I have some questions for John N. Kennedy:

    1. You ran for re-election to the State Treasurer post last fall saying that the "job was not yet done." Is it done now that you're running for Senate, a mere 6 months later?

    You recently endorsed Woody Jenkins for Congress in LA-06. Do you agree with his stated beliefs that we should abolish the Departments of Energy, Education, Housing and Urban Development and Commerce?

    2. In 2004, when you ran for the Senate, you were in favor of stem cell research, affirmative action, and minimum wage hikes. The Republican Party is opposed to these things. Have you flip-flopped?

    3. In 2004, you stated that President Bush's policies were "cold" and "mean." Do you still believe that?

    4. Do you approve of Sinator Vitter's extracurricular activites? After all, you are using him as a host for your fundraiser tonight.

    5. You recently endorsed Woody Jenkins for Congress in LA-06. Do you agree with his stated beliefs that we should abolish the Departments of Energy, Education, Housing and Urban Development and Commerce?

    CenLamar's questions:
    1. Do you support proposals that would allow the government to negotiate prices for prescription medications with pharmaceutical companies?

    2. Please explain why you felt it appropriate to use public tax dollars to promote your name and whether or not you believe Joe McPherson's bill was appropriate.

    3. How do you respond to the accusations from Republicans that you have cost the State over $1.4 million?

    4. Do you support Senator McCain's notion of a 50-100 year presence in Iraq?

    5. Why should Louisianans relinquish their seniority in the Senate and a seat in the appropriations committee in order to elect a freshman member of the minority party?

In the meantime, enjoy this video from the DSCC:
