Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) is making one thing clear about his run for governor: it’s not meant to get him on the hit show Duck Dynasty, unlike Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R).
“I will lead. I’m not running for governor as a stepping stone…I’m not even running to gain a cameo appearance on ‘Duck Dynasty,'” Vitter said according to The Advocate of Louisiana on Monday. The comment was a clear jab at Jindal, who has been mentioned as a potential 2016 presidential candidate and recently appeared on the show.
Vitter made the comments in one of his first wide-ranging interviews since he announced his candidacy for governor in January.
Actually, Duck Dynasty seems to be making a resurgence in politics lately. Zach Dasher, a 36-year old Republican who is the nephew of Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson, announced Monday that he’s running for Rep. Vance McAllister’s (R-LA) congressional seat.
In December, Robertson, the patriarch of the hit show, found himself in the national spotlight for a long-winded rant against Islamists, “Shintos” and “homosexual behavior.”
No, he is running to stay on that sweet sweet wingnut welfare with the bonus of an additional pension. Our new guvnah, ladies and gents!
He’s just in it for the hookers…
He just lost the duck call constituency.
and free diapers.
Discounts at certain gentlemen establishments sure, being on Duck Dynasty not so much.
