Ed Legg (D-Kennebunk) an elected official from the State of Maine was in New Orleans two weeks ago and decided that all of us are corrupt including federal Judge Stanwood Duval.

In a piece released today he opined that

“the front pages of the respected local newspaper, The Times-Picayune, were filled regularly with tales of criminal, negligent and indicted endeavors engaged in by officials at every level of government in Louisiana.”

Rep Legg lumped Judge Duval in with the rest of us dysfunctional bums because of the judge’s recent landmark decision faulting the Army Crops of Engineers for its negligent maintenance of a shipping channel east of the city.

Legg concludes that

“Maine is fortunate to have people who usually exemplify principle and integrity in their government service. Our newspaper headlines rarely reflect the mind-boggling culture of corruption that appears daily in the Times-Picayune….”

Keep in mind this is an elected official. And we, a gracious hospitable people were probably very nice to Rep Legg while he was here in New Orleans.
