The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

LIVE from Orleans Parish!

Posted on | April 8, 2010 | 29 Comments

NEW ORLEANS — Just arrived at the rental home just off Chartres Street where I’ll be staying for the next four days. The blogger bash starts in an hour and a half and I need to take a shower and get dressed.

UPDATE: Ready for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference blogger bash:

Sharp-dressed man in front of the rental home where I’m staying with Ali Akbar and several other New Media operatives.

Update II: (Smitty) Things went pear-shaped from there, as this photo sent in from an internet cafe reveals:

For most people, New Orleans is the Big Easy. Robert Stacy McCain . . . not so much.

Update III: (Smitty) Linked by American Freedom!

    Just stay out of Mary Landreiu’s offices. That can go badly for some journalists.

    See whether you can get ahold of a copy of Thurber’s “Bateman Comes Home,” Stacy. Perfect place to read it.

    RS,

    Have some Gumbo and jambalaya when you’re down there!

    Also, the words of the day is:Next Tuesday (but read the draft today or Friday).

    And finally, there is a story in Los Angeles I’m researching, keep your phone on.

    Have a great trip.

    Hey, Stacy: As long as you’re down there, why don’t you and some of the others make a grovelling video apology for Hurricane Katrina, just to shut up Ben Smith?
