Ethics, Clancy and LA01
As promised, here is the link to the Gambit opinion on the weakened ethics enforcement. When Clancy Dubos was on Garland’s show, he stated that he was working on an editorial on the “clear and convincing” issue. I found this interesting because he stated previously.
When I have something to say personally, I put my name on it — as in my column.
This can’t be true, because if “he” was writing this last week, “he” didn’t put “his” name. It was just a Gambit “commentary”. It seems like Clancy protested a bit too much previously when we tried to put the words of the Gambit on Clancy when it came to his blind and uninformed support of Bobby Jindal. That is not to say that the commentary here is bad, because it is very good and everyone should read it.
Now, in the same commentary page where the Gambit gets it so right, they also get it so wrong. The Gambit has endorsed GHEL Steve Scalise for Congress.
While we do not agree with many of Sen. Scalise’s positions on social issues
Then why on earth would you support him? Gilda Reed has a solid grasp on the need for Coastal Restoration and Hurricane protection. Gilda Reed will also be able to start working from day one to work on the needs of Southern Louisiana. And if Gilda gets elected, the Democrats in Congress will bend over backwards to help her out since they won’t want to lose that seat in the fall. She is likely to be one of the most effective members of Congress from the start. Steve Scalise is likely to be one of the least effective members of Congress because he will be a member of the minority party and will offer nothing for the Democrats to support. We need Reed!

Clancy has no balls. He is smart enough to know that Gilda Reed is the best chance LA01 has to get a meaningful voice in Congress. And he knows that Scalise will be just another minority obstructionist. But Clancy gave up his credibility for celebrity long ago. Just recall his recent duet with Lee Zurick in their expose of the “C. Ray Nagin Calender Case”. Wahahahaha! Clancy, Gambit, just another “me-too” rag, with sex ads.
