Dear GilesB,
Since you admitted that you are not familiar with Looziana politics, I’ll forgive you.
the funeral directors against the monks (Riser is a funeral director):

For the record, McAllister AND Vitter are on record as strayiing. Remember the DC Madame, that was found hanging in her own garage? She had Vitter’s name in her book. At least with McAllister, no one died.
McAllister, came into the last year of a two-year term, vacated by the QUITTING Alexander, similar to LBJ, when he became President when Kennedy was killed.
Alexander AND Riser have voiced their possibility of running, so McAllister made the choice to make that harder for the real stinkers.
OK - I skimmed the account of the coffins. I don’t see anything about Riser in the article. What was his involvement - besides being a funeral director?
Now I don’t understand why there is a question about the date of the shipping of the filing papers. Fed Ex should have a record of the date. However, at this point it seems to be a question - not the absolute fact, as you stated it.
Finally, your closing comment about the DC Madame, that at least with McAllister, no one died, is a complete pile of democrat smear. That statement alone casts doubt, in my mind, on everything else you state. It is a low thing to say. Unless you can support a claim that Vitter had something to do with her death. If not, you would be well served to leave such comments unsaid.
It doesn’t look as if there is a great choice here, but you don’t convince me that McAllister is trustworthy or voteworthy.
