Jindal Scraps Landrieu’s Post
Insert Title Here
WEST BATON ROUGE PARISH – While the New Orleans’ Mayor’s Race gets lost in a shuffle of Black & Gold and Purple Green & Gold, Governor Jindal (R) has made a move that ought to interest the Big Easy voter.
Jindal, on Friday, January 29th (Ten days before the Saints upset the Colts or the night before Krewe de Vieux) moved to permanently shut down the office of Lieutenant Governor.
“It’s a useless post,” said Jindal spokeswoman Forsythe Paige-Moliette. “Total waste of time.”
It is no surprise that Jindal, a Republican considered to be a strong up-and-comer in the GOP, and Landrieu, a legacy Democrat, are often at odds even given their current posts.
But the news that the governor threw Landrieu under the bus went nearly unnoticed in the Who Dat Nation.
The Creole-Tomato, which aims to provide the localest news, sought comment from the Mitch Landrieu for Mayor campaign.
“Mitch was very good at being Lieutenant Governor,” Campaign Manager Montrose Baggs, Esq. wrote to us in an email.
“It’s a political position, right? Stands to reason he’ll be good at it. Whatever the political position, he is good at it, trust me. In fact, he was so good at that one, he very well may be the last Lieutenant Governor of the great state of Louisiana.”
“’Leave ‘em wanting more,’ that’s what I always say.”
