Bush-like Purge In The Offing For Charorge?
Some have speculated that the only thing that may salvage some sort of political career for the quickly imploding Charorge is a W style house cleaning. Charorge could name a fall guy or guyette and shuffle a few people around and, perhaps, bring in a new face or two who actually have a clue.

I don't know if anything can keep them from going down in flames. Watch the Council meeting. The public comments at the beginning of the meeting were uniformly devastating. The 6 or 7 speakers were from all parts of the parish and several complained about Charorge not returning phone calls. (Maybe if Charlotte would travel less and be in the Parish more, she could return calls to common folk.) Poor Mr. Andrus, how could Charorge's Misadministration have screwed up a board appointment so badly?

Fairly or not, the word on the street is uniformly negative. I'd love to see a poll just about now. I can't help but wonder whether the big shots in Lafourche First are doing a little more than scratching their heads in dumbfoundment. ("How could we have been so wrong? She was perky during her Chamber days. Plus, we thought since her and George styled themselves as being in the PR business, they knew something about PR, at least.")

In any event, things are looking pretty bleak up at the Ponderosa. Forces from all parts of the Parish are talking about actively opposing the July 15 tax renewals simply out of principal. They have not been convinced that election is a wise investment of $74,000. It looks more like a ploy to get noncontroversial taxes out of the way so that a tax increase can be placed on the Sept. ballot.

Could I possibly interest you in an Abita Amber about now, George?
