Just who the hell does New Orleans Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell think she is?

Pulled over by State Police after barreling down the shoulder of Interstate 10 at close to 100 miles per hour with a blue light flashing, New Orleans Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge-Morrell yelled at a state trooper: “Do you know who I am? … What the hell are you stopping me for?”

Just who the hell does she think she is?

Personally, I wouldn’t know her if she came up to me and bit me on the ass, and secondly, I could care less.

With all of the problems this city and its residents are grappling with, we have a city councilwoman who is showing us exactly what she is – a self-righteous, ignorant AND stupid BITCH, who has represented herself and our city more than badly.

This is sickening for so many reasons, not the least of which is that she feels entitled to do what she has done [and not for the first time, mind you]; that she has blue flashing lights – emergency lights which are restricted to law enforcement vehicles, on her taxpayer supplied vehicle; and that she [usually] has a law-enforcement driver to tote her to where she needs to be, among other things. This latter is an appalling reality of a waste of law-enfocement resources in a city with the nation’s highest murder rate, don’t you think?

In this case she was ‘late for a meeting’. OMG! Big deal. This does not give her the right to violate the laws and/or to put others lives in danger. If she wants to commit suicide, more power to her, but to use that multi-ton SUV as a weapon is criminal. Yet, SHE DID NOT EVEN RECEIVE A TICKET!

This disgusts us all, as it should.

Although state law prohibits anyone but law enforcement officers from speeding and using flashing lights, State Police did not issue Hedge-Morrell a citation. According to State Police, a trooper has discretion over writing tickets. On Wednesday, Morrell said she still believes troopers should not have detained her.

“I was trying to get to the meeting, and he [the state trooper] couldn’t explain to me why he was detaining me any further,” she said. “To this day, I don’t know why he gave me the warning. I was late for a meeting.”

Awww… stupid, poor little city councilwoman. Bite me… Get the hell out of our city. We don’t need you and we don’t want you.

I expect far better from our elected officials. You should, too.
