His first words:

"What does a dog do when he catches a car?"

He went on to say how humbled he was and that this was another sign of "The end of the millionaire career politician in America!"

Angelle wins if this whole child support issue is never brought up. People are sick of that shite. Did his people not pay attention?

I'm not sure that hurt Angelle. Some people actually believed it.

See my other thread about why Angelle lost.

How humiliating. We just elected a TV clown cop to Congress. We are the laughing stock of the USA.

Angelle's refusal to back Vitter in the runoff and his goofy rhymes in his speeches is what lost him the election. We are sick and tired of the same good ole boy network. If Higgins turns out to be a disaster, we will vote him out. But I'm willing to give Uncle Clay a shot before that career political hack.

Oh get the frick over it.

Considering the alternative is a member of the failed Jindal regime and them trying to worm their way back into Louisiana politics again, I don't think your fellow voters give two shits about being a laughing stock if it means keeping Angelle from the seat and making sure Jindal stays a permanent has been.

Angelle and Jindal got their justly due humiliations tonight and it is well deserved. Hopefully they get the hint to frick off now and go get a real job like everybody else.

Angelle did this because he wanted Vitter to lose so he could run for Governor in 2019 and use the congressional seat as a springboard.

That shite is over now.

He could've endorsed Vitter and been in much better shape for Boustany's old house seat after Vitter appointed him to his old senate seat. Instead he chose to remain buddy buddy with Jindal and he got burnt.

Great, and now we're represented by a dipshit TV cop who couldn't even keep his job as a dipshit TV cop.

And we have Coach O. What a fricking joke.

Why? Honest question... I am not familiar with this race, but I certainly liked Higgins' point of view a year ago when he was "on the radar in Houston" (i.e. a weekly spot on the Michael Berry Show).

I'm not even sure what this goes to show about La right now.... I mean Higgins is no doubt a laughing stock but I guess he is better than putting the same career regime/families in over and over and letting them frick us. Like the landrieus At least this way it seems it will be easier to vote them out if they aren't up to par, Higgins types that is.

If anyone doubted the Idiocracy has arrived in America, this is the solid proof.

In fairness, he told Bobby Guidroz, who I know to be a complete and total nincompoop, to go f himself. That's just fine in my book any day.

I am glad someone said this! I am so tired of hearing "Lets get Washington off our backs so we can get Louisiana back on its feet!"

The people that elected Higgins don't care about what he does in the next two years, Higgins himself probably couldnt tell you what the job entails.


But CAJUN JOHN WAYNE!
