Kimberly Williamson Butler spoke at the most recent French Quarter town hall. She laid out her platform for change. She put forward her vision for Mayor.

She fielded questions about Disneyland.

Because John Gregory was there, and he just had to ask.

She presents herself well. She is incredibly photogenic. I adore this snapshot.

Should you find yourself wound up over the latest petty outrage in the rotation, it has been my experience that Frenchman Street is the place to go for reconciliations.

A Times-Picayune article over the weekend, informed those New Orleanians still offline, that jailbird Clerk of Court Kimberly Williamson Butler was running for Mayor of Disneyland.

I write about this in the post Kimberly Williamson Butler. Wonkette picked up the story, but gives little context.

In response to the flap, Kimberly has now removed the trashcan.

That’s right, rather than replace the stock photograph of Disneyland, with a stock photo of the French Quarter, she had the trashcan photoshopped out.

Here’s a blog post that captured the original site. Thank you Jim Hill. Here’s the site now, all better.

She seems to think that people were offended by the trashcan. She removed the trashcan as it were a telltale sign, as if a resident of the city would not be unable to tell them apart.

There are no curved streets in the Quarter.

Okay, granted, Kimberly can’t tell the difference.

The fact is that Kimberly Williamson Butler cannot identify one of the most easily recognizable buroughs of the city she hopes to govern.

Kimberly Williamson Butler is not New Orleans politics as ususal, by the way. She’s not from around here. (Niether am I.) She’s an import and in a league of her own.
