his son is in the top tier of my friends. my aunt is the governor. i'm sure louisiana is not the only place in america where addiction is found in high places. kennedy was well known to be addicted to pain pills. i don't know. I love that family, i know every member very well and i only hope for their recovery and succsess. it is indicitative of a definite trend in louisiana culture towards alcoholism but i think this is speaking for america at large as well. it's no good to make louisiana a scapegoat for this sort of behavior but we always have been. Is he the first alcoholic judge in american history? doubtful, but he is the first to be dealt concequences. this is a very personal story as well as political.

L-O-U-I-S-I-A-N-A ! The best politicians that money can buy. This state is very close to being a 3rd world nation,what with the illiteracy,crime and political corruption being on par with any Banana Republic you can name.I spent years in New Orleans this place is unique unto itself and will likely never change.

Corruption, gumbo, year-round Mardi Gras, great musical heritage, fear of underwear, drunken judges, and the most freaky bizarre accent in the contiguous 48 states: it's a mixed bag down there.
