Some Straight Talk From The FBI

From yesterday's story in the Times-Picayune about a city councilman pleading guilty to a bribery charge:

"It's not unique to Louisiana. It's just brazen down here. Here in Louisiana, they skim the cream, they steal the milk, hijack the bottles and look for the cow. And it is brazen, the amount of activity down here where people think it's their right as soon as they assume office to steal from the people."

Nope - not unique to Louisiana. Seems some loaded Roll Tide fans are cashing in bigtime on funds intended for Gulf Coast investors.

Tuscaloosa declared a disaster after Katrina? It is to laugh. Coincidentally, the Hon. Sen. Richard Shelby (R) is a native of Tuscaloosa.

How low are we gonna go?
