Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), join us as we meet Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) for the first time. We’ll ask Rep. Cao to talk about his path to public service representing New Orleans, the challenge of being Republican from a traditionally Democratic district, and talk about his positions on health-care reform and cap-and-trade.
In the second half, we’ll break stuff and set fires with Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe. We’ll debate the kerfuffle over the use of sexual terminology at MS-NBC, argue over the Sotomayor hearings, and all the while I’ll be looking for my striped referee jersey. Don’t miss it!
Now you can join the conversation in the chat room! Be sure to register at Ustream to participate in our raucous live-chat sessions.

Ed, will you be asking Cao about any of the –ahem– votes he’s cast so far?

Abby, I’d go easy on Cao and his voting choices. You think that you’d get ANY good voting choices out of “Dolla Dolla Bill” Jefferson if he was still in that seat?

I’m not asking for a strict party-line voter (in fact I prefer an independent thinker/voter)… but the spending, oh the spending…
Tip of iceberg:

http://michellemalkin.com/2009/02/25/house-roll-call-vote-245-178-another-410-billion-down-the-drain/
And that’s not going into his voting for the 90% tax on those AIG bonuses.

Next time, book Dewey, Cheetum & Howe.

Agreed. I know we wail about ‘true conservatives’, but face it, we have a REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN from the district that represents NEW ORLEANS.
The first republican from new orleans since what, the civil war? (ok, looked it up — first gop elected sicne 1888!)
the district is rated D+25 in terms of the electorate. Mr Cao has a law degree from Loyola in NOLA, and i think his wife is a ‘regular working mom’, i think she was a pharmacist at walgreen’s or walmart or something, if i remember the press reports.
Basically, he seems like a genuinely good fit for new orleans, and as much as we want “principled” conservatives, i frankly dont care if he gets pork to build a Sno-Cone Stand or renames Bourbon Street “Nancy Pelosi Way” as long as he keeps the seat red and acts as an ethical republican.

I get a number of campaign solicitations from conservative candidates, based on my donation history, I suppose. Joseph Cao has a remarkable personal history that demonstrates his committment to conservative values. I think that he is the real deal.
