Apparently, Ms. Blanco thinks that the rest of Louisiana is as stupid as she is. She must not realize that other reporters will see her interview and try to reconcile her comments with her actions.
The problem she has is that her comments don't track with her actions. And, her constituents know it.
She can dither and blather all she likes - she ain't Bubba Clinton and she won't be able to duck what's comin' her way.
Gov. Blanco only has to be as smart as 51% of the voters in Louisiana. I think a few more of them have gotten wiser.
