The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) — the world’s most comical political organization, behind House Republicans — has been hoping to convert Barack Obama’s non-denunciation of controversial black people into a couple of victories in upcoming House special elections. We saw that piece of crap airing in Mississippi yesterday, about which Travis Childers said nothing. Now they have another ad supporting some GOP dude running in Louisiana, whose opponent supports the “extreme liberal views” of Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, depicted below with a lesbian haircut.

Louisiana state senators have been hard at work recently drafting legislation to honor the Sazerac — a drink containing “whiskey, sugar, bitters and absinthe, or a substitute anise-flavored liquor” — as the official state cocktail. New Orleans is in such great shape, see, that they can spend their time writing all sorts of fun legislation celebrating drinks! MORE »

Sweet Mormon Jesus, you must watch this immediately and then 500 more times. From the Gonzales Weekly Citizen newspaper in Lousiana: “A car carrying U.S. Sen. David Vitter ran into a No Parking sign in the Gonzales Police Department parking lot Monday morning as the senator was attempting to evade members of the media, including the Gonzales Weekly Citizen, following a Town Hall forum event at Gonzales City Hall.” He was trying to evade them because they kept asking questions about his boners.

Ha ha, did you think there might be a single weekend off after the deeply unsatisfying Super Tuesday Spectacle? Saturday features five more contests, including caucuses in Kansas, Nebraska and Washington state, a full primary election in Louisiana, some kind of “pretend to vote” conference in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and finally a Sunday caucus for the Maine Democrats. We’ll have weekend updates as polls close. [TIME/The Page]

There’s been some internet terrorist “chatter” in recent days over who won Tuesday’s Louisiana Republican caucus. John McCain is claiming victory, Paultards are freaking over their supposed second and Mittens came in third. Whatever. There’d be no point in mentioning this confusing, unimportant Louisiana delegate system if it weren’t for the real winner Tuesday: Hillary Clinton’s pesky Michigan rival, Uncommitted. And this time with a dash of abortion! MORE »

Today, Jim McCrery of Louisiana became the 17th Republican in the House to announce that he’s not running for re-election. McCrery is the head Republican on the Ways and Means Committee and is reportedly depressed that he can’t make its Chair, Charlie Rangel, see his point of view. In a completely unrelated note, McCrery has been dogged with rumors of bisexuality at least since 1992, when The Advocate published its exposé about his rumored bisexuality. Of course, he also says wants to spend more time with his family. [CQ Politics, The Advocate via BlogActive]

It’s October, so why is it still so goddamn hot? And why are politicians still getting busted for perversions and sexcapades? Is this Cummer truly Endless? Or is this merely — as one of you commenters probably coined back in some long-ago post (this one?) — an Indian Cummer?* After the jump, join us in taking a quick glance at Cocktober’s Long, Long Tail — starring that Louisiana Bathroom Goblin, Gay Escorts, and, uh, something called an “Oral Roberts.”

Whoops, ha ha, a B-52 bomber filled with live nuclear warheads was flown from North Dakota to Louisiana on Thursday, just a little fuckup, sorry about that! The “Advanced Cruise Missiles” were mounted on the plane’s wings. Probably would’ve been tough for the nukes to detonate if the plane crashed, but who knows? Ha ha ha.

The people of Louisiana have a message for the sex-criminal and unresigned Senator David Vitter: “What a liar. THE PROSTITUTE HAS COME FORWARD IN NEW ORLEANS — YOU PATHETIC LIAR. You need to step down NOW!!” MORE »

Everybody knows Louisiana politicians are really corrupt versions of the already incredibly corrupt DC politicians, so it comes as no surprise that one of them shows up on the DC Madam’s list. The surprise is that Republican Senator David Vitter admits to paying to screw some gals. Well done, Senator Vitter! We appreciate your candor, after you got caught. MORE »
