New Orleans: Random Man on the Street, and More News You Can Abuse

Posted on | April 11, 2010 | 6 Comments

NEW ORLEANS — When everybody’s going for the Big Story in the pack-journalism scrum — Romney wins SRLC straw poll! Ron Paul says wacky stuff! — my counter-intuitive instinct is to look for offbeat angles that nobody else reports.

What an amazing coincidence, huh? And ladies, there’s good news:

So even though conservative heart-throbs like Marco Rubio, Scott Brown and myself are all happily married, there’s still hope for you lonely right-wing gals looking for the Republican man of your dreams (and Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s worst nightmares). He’s a successful entrepreneur — IYKWIMAITYD — and his name is Brian Reilly for Congress.

Kind of weird how so many of these random man-on-the-street types down here in New Orleans all have the same last name, “for Congress.” Quaint local custom, I suppose . . .
