Comet Does Hack Job On Lorraine
The headline screams: Councilman might face battery charges. In a classic hack job fashion, the Comet reports that Charlotte's husband George Randolph, aka the Moocher, aka Freddy Freeloader, aka I Like Da Red Lights, has filed criminal charges against Councilman Daniel Lorraine for an incident which allegedly occurred after the meeting where Lorraine had passed a measure prohibiting the use of Parish equipment by non-employees. George alleges Daniel pushed him or some such nonsence.
Isn't it curious that these charges come nearly 8 months after that alleged occurrence? Doesn't do much for your credibility, George. It is a dream of mine that Daniel hires me, that this thing goes to trial and I get to subject George and Charlotte to some withering cross-examination. It would be so much fun! (Yes, I'm weird that way.) But alas, since the charges are baseless, the Sheriff will not likely submit it to the DA.
However, George has exposed himself, in the process, to a criminal charge of filing a false police report and a civil action by Daniel for defamation.
Normally, the Comet waits until charges are referred to the DA and a date is set for an arraignment before spattering a headline like this. In this case, they choose to write about what "might" happen. Hell, Daniel may develop a bad case of toe fungus, be charged with being a member of al Quida or become a porn star. Would that justify headlines? Has the Comet been subject to any pressure since the generator story? They have been running an awful lot of fluff on Parish government since then.
What about Ray Cheramie using Parish equipment on his property, Charlotte committing $5.3 million to rent portable levees without Council knowledge or consent and Parish employees getting their June 30 checks shorted? How are those stories not more newsworthy than what "might" happen to a Councilman?

If Daniel woulda' pushed him,he woulda' been out for the count.Daniel wouldn't waste a push on him...he would push a MAN,which Mr.R could never claim to be...MR.R stays at home and let the wife work.What a WEASEL.
We need to bring back the good old days, like when Charlie Banta got KO'd by Tony Adams on the courthouse steps!
