History Made: Kenner-American Elected Governor

Louisiana’s Gubernatorial election made international news last month. For the first time in American history, a Kenner-American was elected governor of a state.

As news of Bobby Jindal’s election reached the distant outer provinces of Kenner, spontaneous celebrations broke out in the streets.

Kenner registered voter Keith Lazzo reflected, “First the Berlin Wall, now this, it really restores my belief in this great nation of ours.”

“This really is a groundbreaking day for all Kenner-Americans,” said Kenner Mayor Ed Muniz.

“It’s a vindication of the American Dream. If you work hard, play by the rules, and dare to dream, even someone from Kenner can make it all the way to the Governor’s Mansion someday.”

For his part, Jindal downplays all the talk of history.

“This was an election about the issues,” said Jindal.

“When the good voters of Louisiana looked deep in their hearts and cast their ballots in the privacy of the voting booth, I know the fact that I’m from Kenner never entered their minds.”

“I didn’t know he was Indian,” said one shocked voter from Northwest Louisiana.

“He had enough to overcome that he’s from Kenner.”
