From the Advocate: Senator David Vitter has requested an FEC ruling on whether he can use funds from his campaign war chest to pay legal fees in his involvement in the case of DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Vitter’s lawyer argues that Vitter’s involvement in the case was predicated soley on his status as a United States Senator and not on his status as a hooker loving philanderer.
From WAFB: In what is essentially a reiteration of the campaign pledge that he nearly broke during the recent pay raise controversy, Governor Jindal says that he will veto any pay raise that takes effect prior to 2012.
From WAFB: Governor Jindal’s proclamation that he was “against the pay raise from the start” is being refuted by lawmakers. Is this sort of like how he was for the Stelly Tax roll back all along?
From WWL: After his ethics “reforms” managed to gut the state ethics laws and ethics board, Governor Jindal is facing his next major crisis after 10 of the 11 members of the Louisiana ethics board resigned in protest and disgust.
From Bayou Buzz: With a Southern Media poll showing some serious damage to Governor Jindal’s popularity in the wake of the pay raise controversy, it appears now that the Governor’s VP chances have taken a similar hit. Did the Governor blow his shot at the number 2 spot because he spent more time talking with Leno than Tucker?
