You have GOT to be kidding me.

Will this egotistical freak show ever go away?

[chicagolady]

He would fit right in, with the REST of the crimminals!

[Publius]

Now there's a switch. Going from prison to Congress.

[deport]

FYI............

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Hopefully he'll switch to the Democratic Party. He'd fit in with them.

[Burkeman1]

Jail most likely deepened this guy's ego mania. I bet he was an instant "hero" and figure of respect to certain white trash elements in the prison who of course view him as he views himself- as a "political prisoner". He will emeerge even more annoying from prison.

[SauronOfMordor]

Hopefully he'll switch to the Democratic Party. He'd fit in with them.

What makes you think he's not ALREADY on the Dem payroll, hired to sabotage the Republican primary?

[kennedy]

Hopefully he'll switch to the Democratic Party. He'd fit in with them.

Not only that, most of the press would never mention his KKK past again. Just ask Sen. Byrd.

The Statute :

*NOTE RESTRICTIONS FOR CONVICTED FELONS - Louisiana Constitution Article I, Section 10:

(1) A person who has been convicted within this state of a felony and who has exhausted all legal remedies, or who has been convicted under the laws of any other state or of the United States or of any foreign government or country of a crime which, if committed in this state, would be a felony and who has exhausted all legal remedies and has not afterwards been pardoned either by the governor of this state or by the officer of the state, nation, government or country having such authority to pardon in the place where the person was convicted and sentenced.

(2) A person actually under an order of imprisonment for conviction of a felony.

Now there's a switch. Going from prison to Congress.

Good one!!

[Vigilanteman]

Flori-duh actually has a Congress critter who was impeached and disgraced from a federal judgeship for bribery and malfeasence. For a free lottery ticket in return for a stamped, self-addressed envolope:

1. Name the Congress Critter.
   
2. Name the Critter's Political Party.

Alceed (sp) Hastings
Democrat

[Kevin Curry]

The race-baiting Alcee Hastings of the Democratic Party, of course.

David Duke Mulls Run for Congress After Prison

Maybe he figures the criminal record is resume-enhancing.

[Kuksool]

I hope David Duke does run for Congress. This way Jindal could slam Duke down once in for all. I want a Jindal vs. Duke to make national news. The race will show to the world that the GOP welcomes minorities.

[Hardastarboard]

My thoughts exactly. No question in my mind that they'd be up to paying him say, ten grand and get him a little face time with a sympathetic reporter to be able to use him to smear the Republicans. Now if he's just smart to keep his mouth shut about being paid for it.

[Glenn]

Duke was accused of bilking supporters by representing himself as being in dire financial straits while actually living extravagantly. Duke denied the accusations.

Accused by whom? Living extravagently how?

I hate the little piss-ant. I hate incomplete reporting more.

[Lead Moderator]

But you hate me and the rest of the staff here even more. :p

[Glenn]

But you hate me and the rest of the staff here even more. :p

Are you so insecure that you must inject yourself on a comment that has nothing at all to do with you?

Grow up!

[Glenn]

Is this how the place runs now? Moderators chase posters who voice their dissenting opinions? Post on threads that have nothing to do with the dissent? This is bullshite.
