Obviously, Louisiana’s Rhodes Scholar-in-chief doesn’t believe in leading by example.
When he was campaigning for governor in 2007, The Rhodes Scholar wrote:
We must demand an honest government that puts the residents of our state first and the special interests last. It is time we break free from the lingering legacy of the past and fully embrace a government that is ethical, efficient, and accountable from top to bottom.
In other words, The Rhodes Scholar believes that the state must be protected from “special interests.” He also claims to believe in “transparency” and “accountability” in government.
Monday night, The Rhodes Scholar held a fundraiser in Port Vedra Beach, Florida.
When asked who or what “special interest” sponsored the fundraiser, The Rhodes Scholar’s mouthpiece said: “That info will be available on the campaign reports” when they are filed next year, …. Times Picayune, October 26, 2009.
So how do we know that some evil-doer special interest did not give The Rhodes Scholar a pile of money and is now in line to get some special favors from the state? We don’t.
Clearly, it’s just another case of The Rhodes Scholar saying one thing and doing another.
