While not busy sending shameless (and possibly illegal) campaign press releases from his state treasurer’s website to potential financial supporters, everyone’s favorite political shapeshifter, sure likes to complain. In fact, in his latest campaign email John makes quite the fuss over what he calls “bitter, negative attacks” against him and his latest quest for a United States Senate parking spot.

When he was complaining of bitter attacks was he referring to those who called him inefficient, ineffective and not ready for prime time?” That would be those DC GOP handlers John.

Was he referring to the attacks that labeled him the Democrats “Second Choice”?

Your DC GOP handlers said that too.

Or was he referring to the attacks that accused him of wasting $37 million in tax payer dollars as state treasurer or for forgetting to deposit state revenue checks on time costing Louisiana tax payers yet another $1.4 million?

Sorry, John, GOP handlers again.

Or was he referring to the attacks that called him a “lawyer-lobbyist” who “campaigns for office with state dollars”?

That’s right, said same pesky GOP handlers.
