Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Well at least she’s not talking about a “chocolate” New Orleans
The Whistler at the Say Anything blog has a post up about New Orleans mayoral candidate Kimberly Williamson Butler regarding the photo she has up on her official website. Apparently, it’s a photo of her at Disneyland – with the Disneyland trash can Photoshopped out.
Wonkette has more, including a related post that provides some, shall we say, ‘interesting’ info on Butler. They quoted a story from NOLA.com:
Ending one strange political saga by starting another, the clerk of New Orleans Criminal District Court, Kimberly Williamson Butler, surrendered herself to an irate criminal court judge Friday morning after a week of ignoring court orders and arrest warrants, and then walked outside the courthouse to announce her candidacy for mayor.
In comments leading up to the surprise announcement, Butler said she had “grown” over her past week in seclusion, and that her mercurial political career makes her uniquely qualified to relate to common folk, including those who have been fired and accused of breaking the law.
The charge:
Criminal District Court judges had sought Butler’s arrest after she defied a court order to transfer the authority over her office’s FEMA application and the cleanup of its flooded property room to an outside judge, appointed to take on that task by the state Supreme Court.
The kicker: she was a former ‘top official’ in Mayor Ray “choclate city” Nagin’s administration:
“When I got kicked out of City Hall, when I got fired, people told me, you know Ms. Butler, I can relate to that,” said the former top official in Mayor Ray Nagin’s administration. “Now, all of a sudden, I’ve had to stand in court, and I can identify with people that had to stand in court. All of a sudden, I can identify with people who have been falsely accused. I can identify with people who have made mistakes and had to stand before judges.”
Priceless.

- While shes at it, I wonder if its beyond her comprehension that she should identify with people that have broken the law in a myriad of small ways and just shut up and do her time like the rest of us would have to if we tried half the crap shes gotten away with because of the color of her rhetoric.
- You think?
- BTW, when the ghost writers at Wonkette (If I recall, the unsinkable Mz Ana Marie Cox is now listed as “emeritus”, meaning shes flown the coop for dicier pickings or just some plain peace and quiet to allow her to persue her *ahem*, kinkier enjoyments) gets on your case, being all Liberal all the time, you just have to know your butt is outta line somehow.
