“Special Legislators Need Special Sessions” Says Gov

BATON ROUGE — Capitalizing on the success of two previous Special Sessions, Governor Bobby Jindal announced today he will be seeking participation from members of the Louisiana State Legislature for yet another.

“Given the IQ of the average Louisiana Legislator,” said Jindal, a Rhodes Scholar, “I’ve decided to call all sessions from here on out ‘Special.’”

“I mean, we’re not talking about rocket surgeons, here,” the Governor quipped.

Scheduled for March 31, the session is expected to cover far reaching economic issues, enforcement of recent ethics reforms, and finger-painting.

“Our State Representatives and Congressmen and women are really extra-special,” said Special Liaison for the Governor Anita Hume.

“So we just wanted to let them know, it’s healthy for them to hear it, for us to reinforce it with them.”

One agenda item special to Special Session III includes a bid to legalize the longtime underground pasttime of Nutria Fighting.

Jindal’s Economic Advisor, George Vincennes, feels particularly confident that this measure can achieve support from a majority of the legislature.

“It’s win-win,” Vincennes told AP reporters on Tuesday.

“While providing much needed world-class entertainment for a disenfranchised Louisiana population, we’ll also be thinning the detrimental nutria population.”

“Besides, think of the tourist dollars and potential for capital improvements. Just imagine a Olympic-scale Nutria-Fight Arena in Cameron Parish or a Headquarters for The National Association of Taxidermists.”
