Kimberly Williamson Butler is running for Mayor of New Orleans. The header of her website features a photo of said fair city… oh wait. Look closer at that background!

This is most definetly Disneyland’s New Orleans Square, home of the Pirates of the Caribbean, The Blue Bayou, and Club 33… right here in Anaheim, CA. I’ve spent many hours standing in line for my clam chowder at the Royal Street Varanda directly behind where Ms. Butler is standing. Damn politicians.

Update: Disney Looking Into Butler’s Unauthorized Use of Photo NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Disneyland is looking into a New Orleans mayoral candidate’s unauthorized use of a photo of its theme park on a campaign Web site. Criminal district Court Clerk Kimberly Williamson Butler’s Web site features the photo, which shows a portion of the California park that resembles the French Quarter. A Disney public relations official says the matter has been referred to the park’s legal department. Butler appears in the foreground of the photo, but it is not clear whether her image was simply superimposed on the scene by the Web site designer. Butler has not said why the photo was chosen instead of an authentic New Orleans cityscape. Butler is among 23 candidates running for mayor of New Orleans in elections this month. She has made news recently for being arrested on contempt of court charges and for comparing herself to Ghandi and Nelson Mandela after being released from jail last month. The arrest stemmed from her refusal to transfer authority for the cleanup of the court’s hurricane-flooded property room to an outside judge who was appointed to take on that task by the state Supreme Court.
