6 thoughts on “I guess they got tired of the “culture of corruption””
Good and very best of luck. Corruption in LA is (famously) a long-entrenched problem at all levels. Not going away overnight, but it’s never too late to start doing the right thing.
As a Miami Cuban currently going to school in LA, I can tell you the entire culture of corruption isn’t a liberal or conservative issue. To turn it into a political issue is to simply continue with the political woes that have plagued LA. Blanco wasn’t a liberal by any means. The largest group that re-elected Nagin were business owners. Corruption runs both ways. http://www.blueprintlouisiana.org/
Louisiana has been a Democrat state. The corruption has flourished under them. And that is not a new phenomenom. Let’s hope a conservative can clean it up.
Claiming that democratic “liberalism” is the root of Louisiana corruption really shows how little you know about the state. In any other state, Louisiana “democrats” would be republicans. Up until Nixon/Reagan, there were many parts of the south which were “conservative” and democratic. I hope that anybody (liberal or conservative) can clean up the corruption.
Denial is not a river in Egypt…

Liberal Democrat-ism may not be the root of Louisiana corruption, which was around long before modern liberalism, but it sure threw a fair amount of gas on the fire.

Maybe so in some cases, but the fact is that they’re not. And Mayor Ray I-won’t-implement-my-hurricane-evacuation-plan-and-also-let-200-buses-drown-and-then-blame-it-all-on-Bush-and-whitey-even-before-the-wind-stops-blowing Nagin certainly doesn’t fall into this category.

True, but it’s not 1965 in Louisiana or anywhere else anymore and hasn’t been for 42 years. The modern, ever more Truther/Soros/Michael Moore Democratic Party is the kingmaker in Democratic primaries in Louisiana today, not Karl Rove.
I hope that anybody (liberal or conservative) can clean up the corruption.
It would require a great deal of outside intervention, which isn’t coming any time soon. In the meantime, there’s tens — maybe hundreds by now — of billions of dollars of federal, state and private aid money pouring into LA for the corruption termites to first feed on and then turn around and accuse Bush of racism for not sending enough.
