louisiana power!

Just when you think Louisiana might have moved out of the 19th century, someone manages to prove you wrong. From the Times-Picayune, the mayor of Pearl River gets a little testy:

At the end of Tuesday's meeting of the Pearl River Board of Aldermen, Lavigne refused to allow Marshall to comment about an issue discussed during the meeting. When Marshall continued to try to ask a question about how long members of the fire board would serve, Lavigne told him he would not take questions and added, "I hope the Ku Kluxers get you, too."

It was not clear exactly what the mayor meant by the comment or why he referenced the Klan, and his Thursday statement shed no light on those issues. 

Oh, and Mr. Reporter? It's clear why he referenced the Klan and what he meant by the comment. You're just too chickenshit to say that the mayor is a racist asshole.
