pronouncing the Guv's name as "zhin DOLL"

I can honestly say I've never heard that. But, I tend to focus on substance and not form.

From the outside, this guy looks like a great governor. Why all the hate?

He's bright, but a phony. His big ethics reform movement was and is a cynical joke. Exempts his office from any real oversight or ethics legislation. As mentioned above, business growth has been good, but it's due to a combination of post-Katrina luck and giveaways.

Plus, he's a flaming a-hole.

I guess I do the same when I call him Piyush instead of Bobby.

That's because you're a racist.

Spends all of his time in Iowa and New Hampshire instead of doing his job.

Other than that, he's basically a first round draft bust. He's been a disappointment to business conservatives (by not pursuing comprehensive fiscal reform), good government types (lack of meaningful ethics reform and choosing career crooks as legislative leaders), and even social conservatives (he publicly endorsed making the pill available over the counter).

the horror!

I agree with him. Point is socons don't like it. And the Louisiana GOP is a coalition of three political groups: economic conservatives, social conservatives, and good government/ethics types (the third group being Republican thanks to Crookwards).
