I haven't been able to find a copy of his speech as yet, but the cloest I've found thus far is an extract:

Mercury Rising
"Unbeknownst to me, certain people in the White House were thinking, 'We had to federalize Louisiana because she's a white, female Democratic governor, and we have a chance to rub her nose in it,'" he said, without naming names. "'We can't do it to Haley (Barbour) because Haley's a white male Republican governor. And we can't do a thing to him. So we're just gonna federalize Louisiana.'" All of the major news sites are now carrying the story though.
