Charlotte Damages Women in Politics?
Ever noticed that Charlotte can't seem to do anything as Parish President without her husband, George "I like da red lights" Randolph, in tow? You may not know this, but guests on KLRZ's Talk on the Bayou tell me that whenever Charlotte is on the radio, George is there passing her notes.
Obviously, spouses of public servants will have an influence on the decisions the servant will make; afterall they are life partners. It is as it should be. But should the unelected spouse be the one MAKING the decisions? That is how it appears with Charlotte and George (Charorge hereafter). Their way of doing things makes it appear that women can't make up their own minds, which, try as I wish, I know not to be a fact. (That woman off Canal Blvd. in N.O. this past weekend had no problem deciding she would not permit me to remove her clothes, notwithstanding the fact she was too inebriated to drive her car.) But in politics, perception is reality, as they say.
Has Charorge set back the cause of women in politics?
