Bob Livingston has no regrets
Yeah, I am sure his family is thrilled to hear that. He has no regrets about resigning. Hey Bob, what about the fact that you HAD to resign in the first place because while complaining about Clinton’s ability to keep it in his pants, you couldn’t keep it in your pants either.
You had a chairmanship of a powerful committee and you would have house speaker. And you threw that all away with your quixotic quest to bring Clinton down for the same sin you committed yourself. Imagine what could have happened in Louisiana in the years that followed with a Louisiana Congressman as Speaker of the House. Imagine the levees that could have been strengthened and the shoreline that could have been fixed.
How many less people would have had to die in Katrina had you been able to get us stronger levee protection?
I guess we will never know, because you stood up there and resigned… trying to be some sort of hero. And I guess it paid off for you since you now have your lobbyist salary. Perhaps your wife can overlook your sins because of your hefty paycheck. However, the fact that you prosper should sicken every person you ever claimed to serve. Unfortunately you, like many pols, have blind backers who view your stance as heroic. These are probably the same people who will claim to support family values but will still vote for Vitter as well.
What is it about LA01 and Republicans who cannot respect the “sanctity of marriage”. I guess to the LA01 voters that support you, the Congressmen are not actually required to follow the same moral code that they push for.
It is really truly sad.
