Pissing Contest

Some candidates in U.S. Congressional District 2 are taking that metaphor a bit too literally.

But during the taping Friday of the only televised debate of the contest, two of Jefferson's most formidable challengers -- state Rep. Cedric Richmond and former TV news anchor Helena Moreno -- spent more time trying to discredit each other on those same issues than the nine-term incumbent.

The nasty confrontation ended with Moreno, stung by what she called Richmond's outrageous "suggestion" that she uses drugs, marching out of WDSU-TV's downtown New Orleans' studios and into a nearby clinic, where she voluntarily submitted to a drug test.

She quickly delivered the results -- a clean reading -- to The Times-Picayune.


Let me make one very astute remark about this Congressional race:

All of the candidates are unbelievably crappy.

But at least the T-P's Donze and Krupa are on the ball enough to indicate the winner of this particular debate:

Jefferson didn't attend


The primary is October 4, but the magic is in the air now.
