[StBernard] Georges: Jindal Has "Abandoned" Vitter

[Westley Annis]

This is funny.  Some are criticizing Jindal for not showing enough support
to Vitter while others criticize him for not chastizing Vitter enough????
So which is it?

I think everyone running for governor better realize the voters of this
state could care less how Bobby Jindal or Joe Blow feels about David Vitter
- this is all so petty when we have major issues to deal with in Louisiana -
like what are we going to do in the next couple of years when proposed state
revenues drop by billions of dollars down into the low 20's and big cuts
will have to be made.  They just better focus on their message to the voters
as to what they will do to improve Louisiana.

Georges: Jindal Has "Abandoned" Vitter

Gubernatorial Candidate Says Jindal Has Shown Weakness Monday, July 23, 2007

Republican candidate for Governor, John Georges, says the frontrunning
candidate for the Governor's office, Congressman Bobby Jindal, has shown
"weakness" in his response to the scandal involving Senator David Vitter. 

"As a Republican, I am appalled at the way Bobby has turned his back on
Vitter," Georges said in a statement released by his campaign.

Georges says he believes Jindal has "abandoned" Vitter and demonstrated a
"lack of loyalty." 

The New Orleans businessman who says he's prepared to spend $5 million of
his own money on his campaign for Governor, says he thinks Jindal has
shunned his former mentor.

"True leaders stand by their troops when they are wounded and help their
friends stand up when they've been knocked down," Georges said in his
statement. 

"Jindal's actions in the last two weeks have shown that if you're not
perfect he wants nothing to do with you," said Georges.

Georges says if Vitter has been fully honest in his admissions and there has
been no wrongdoing that has yet to be revealed,  he should be forgiven and
remain in office.
