After lambasting Obama's stimulus bill because it included a high speed railroad from "Las Vegas to Disenyland" (the bill doesn't but that doesn't matter) "Lil Bobby 2012" has submitted a proposal for a highspeed rail service between Baton Rouge and New Orleans (in an apparent bid for folks in Baton Rouge to escape after LSU games).
Now if Bob was Jewish I would say, man that takes chutzpah!

Didn't Jindal reject the idea of accepting stimulus money just a couple of days ago? I guess he considers this a way to go back on his own word without appearing to do just that.
from the above article
Lambert said the agency intends to apply for the Louisiana rail line but the prospect of getting the grant is very much up in the air. The administration will have to review the application procedures before moving forward, he said.
The passenger service Amtrak has a rail line that runs from New Orleans west to Lafayette and beyond, but does not connect in the state capital. About 89 miles of freight line connecting the two cities would be upgraded to handle the higher-speed passenger trains.
New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal and an existing freight station near downtown Baton Rouge would be improved to handle passenger traffic. State officials have talked to Amtrak about providing the service, Lambert said.
I agree with A train from Baton Rouge to New Orleans which would most likely go over the lake. Not sure it would need to be a high speed train.

Jon Stewart said it best, I believe it went something like this
