Louisiana's new Governor already has an ethics investigation against him
That didn't take long. Little shit Bobby Jindal (REPUBLICAN) who made ethics reform his one, his only campaign issue has "run afoul of ethics rules." HE'S BEEN GOVERNOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

Lil bobby with his cute little smile apparently hoodwinked all the dumbass "values voters" in Louisiana to vote for him. He promised ethics reform. He was gonna clean up the state of corruption. Of course as a good REPUBLICAN he barely mentions Katrina victims and never mentions saving the coastal wetlands. Two issues a helluva lot more important in Louisiana then ethics reform. But whatcha gonna do with an electorate who cares nothing of knowledge, only of beliefs. Oh and bobby made sure everyone knew that he's a good christian.

1. he wasn't placed into office because he was honest
this goes without saying

the man essentially ran unopposed because that's the only kind of campaign he can win, they tore down blanco with constant lies lies lies from just forever so she wouldn't run again, because he couldn't (didn't) win a fair race against her

evil men don't cheat and lie because they're too good to steal, they lie and cheat because it facilitates the stealing

4. That's absolutley true but
jindal spent 99% of his campaign talking of ethics reform and holding himself up as a fucking pure and chaste saintly figure for all to love and adore. He obviously knows the voters. The "values" voters that is, who just can't get enough of candidates who espouse their christianity. Per him, everyone but him in Louisiana was corrupt and incompetent. It is a joy watching the Bayou State political circus unfold on a daily basis.
