Narrator: “David Vitter won election to the United States Senate as a proud family values politician, but, under the surface, Vitter was battling his own demons.”

Narrator: “But it didn’t end there. The scene shifts to New Orleans where a former French Quarter prostitute gave an interview exposing details about her sexual relationship with Vitter.”
Prostitute: “He went in, took a shower. Spoke very little to me at first. He did his thing. He wasn’t there 15, 20 minutes at that. I was $300.”

In 1897–only a year after the Supreme Court ruled against nearby Treme neighborhood resident Homer Plessey’s challenge to segregation laws–the area where Iberville now stands was designated as the Storyville red light district–named after a city councilman that created the proposal and ordinance. The ensuing increase in land and housing costs led to the displacement of many residents of this long-established black community. After the closing of the district during World War I, housing and rents became affordable, and by the 1930s it was again a predominantly low income back community–but not for long. In 1937 the newly created Housing Authority of New Orleans appropriated the property through eminent domain for the then-new–and white-only–Iberville public housing development. Black families were forced to pack-up again. It was not until 1965, following passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, that black working class families were again able to reside in the area. Since then there has been an incessant campaign by real estate interests to seize this valuable property for their profit-making ventures, rather than to meet human need.

Democrat ad seeks to revive GOP senator’s scandals
Associated Press – September 29, 2010 1:44 PM ET
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The Democrat hoping to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter is airing a television ad detailing a prostitution scandal that sent Vitter scurrying from public view in 2007.
Running on cable television systems, U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon’s ad features a grainy black & white re-enactment of a man resembling Vitter exiting a motel room. It has scenes from the news conference where he admitted to an unspecified “serious sin” after his phone number was found among records of a Washington prostitution ring. And it has excerpts from an interview with a New Orleans prostitute who alleged Vitter was a customer, which Vitter has denied.
There’s nothing new in the ad, but Democrats hope it sends a message that Vitter is, in Melancon’s words, “hostile to women.”

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer Director: Werner Herzog Rating: 2.5/5
Nicolas Cage is known for taking slightly off the cuff roles and taking on strange and somewhat eccentric characters… and with Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans this trend continues.
A rogue detective is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon.
Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves. Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience.

It would be remiss of me not to compare both Bad Lieutenant films, along with the performances of Cage as Terence McDonagh and Keitel as the unnamed Lieutenant. Whereas Keitel’s character is tortured and angry, Cage is jovial and friendly. He may threaten people with a gun, but they shrug it off because that’s just a side effect of Terence when he likes to party. The original film offered glimpses of a need for companionship with his liaisons with prostitutes. Here Eva Mendes as the tart with a heart adds little to the story, seemingly only there to dig Terence into even deeper trouble.
The setting also adds a lot to the films. Keitel was confined to the streets, surrounded by car horns and the bustle of a big city; Cage drives around the ravaged New Orleans, most of which resembles a shanty town. When you set a film in modern day New Orleans, there has to be at least the hint of a politica …

Bar upset over ordinance
Published Sunday, September 26, 2010
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Some bar owners in Fat City, Metairie’s entertainment district, say a new ordinance that will limit hours of operation will unfairly benefit competitors and eventually kill their businesses.
The sweeping ordinance was passed in hopes of cleaning up Fat City by gradually eliminating strip clubs and rowdy bars and converting the entertainment district into a more family friendly area for shoppers and diners. Parish leaders say there are 16 bars within a few blocks in Fat City, and that the area has been plagued with crime for years.
Under the ordinance, Fat City bars would be forced to close at midnight on weekdays and shut down at 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The law goes into effect March 31, 2011.
