The toxic moron that LA elected over Bobby Jindal in the 2003 Governor's Race had a recent 'nonpolitical discussion' with Cuba's communist dicator:
http://www.nola.com/newsflash/louisiana/index.ssf?/base/international-0/1110490620101400.xml&storylist=louisianaWe talked about a vast array of issues that are of common concern to both of us," Blanco told reporters at the airport before heading home. "He focused on good nutrition, on agriculture on oil and gas. These are very timely issues."So the governor visits the only Latin American country (besides Venezuela) whose government
engineers shortages of food and fuel among its population. I guess Blanco thought that Louisiana's government wasn't efficient enough at providing mass poverty as thoroughly as Cuba.
Castro also talked about health care, but "there were no political issues discussed," Blanco said How that woman could conceive that a "discussion" about socialized health care in a Communist country is not political beggars the imagination. Least of all since Castro routinely bloviates about the superiority of Cuba's health care "system" over the US's.
"Hemingway's writing made everyone want to come to Cuba," said the governor, who arrived Tuesday and clinched a deal Wednesday in which the Cuban government agreed to purchase $15 million in food sales from Louisiana in the next year But when the Communist overran Cuba, Hemingway had the sense to abandon that soon-to-be miserable island for the Florida Keys.
Blanco expressed satisfaction with her visit, calling it "very dimensional" and "revealing."
"You see that there's a struggle," she said of Cuba. "But when you sit down and talk to people, you can bridge a lot of gaps and create new alliances."Maybe that struggle you see on the government officials' faces arises from their efforts to contain all 11.3 million captives on the prison island.
But it stands to reason the idiot Blanco would choose to travel to
Cuba for an economic trip. Others governors of her ilk made the trip as well:
Blanco is the fourth U.S. governor to travel to Cuba. The first, George Ryan of Illinois, came on a similar trade mission in 1999. Governors John Hoeven, of North Dakota, and Jesse Ventura, of Minnesota, also have led trade delegations here in recent years.Until now, I just thought Blanco was a 61-y-o paperweight of a governor, incapable of leading Louisiana out of the economic iron age. I misjudged her: she is
morally depraved, cuddling up to a murderer who spends 5 1/2 hours making a speech about how he provided 'free' electric rice cookers to Cuba's poor, even though they have neither electricity nor rice.
Blanco is Louisiana's answer to Patty Murray
