Thar be Dragons

Aaron Broussard is feeling puckishly glib this morning.

Broussard, who resigned from office in Jan. 2010 amid a federal probe, entered a guilty plea to two counts, including a conspiracy to commit bribery, theft and wire fraud and theft from a program receiving federal funds. Broussard faces up to 15 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

At 23, I came into politics as a dragon slayer. At 63-years-old, I am going out as a dragon,” Broussard said to reporters as he entered the federal courthouse to enter his guilty plea. 
Broussard is expected to make a plea deal  with regard to the River Birch prosecution, or as Broussard colorfully put it this morning,




You see.. because Jim Letten actually plays the drums.. and Broussard is "singing".. and IT'S FUNNY, DAMMIT!!

Anyway, in the meantime, we're told that this NOLA.com article on River Birch background is the first in a series of six such reports. So there should be plenty to sing about.
