Does Senator Mary Landrieu really care about New Orleans ? Serious query

[steve2470]

Thanks in advance. For the record, I'm from Florida. Does that mean that I REALLY care about Florida ? No, it doesn't. Hence my question.

[Totally Committed]

1. Landrieu = D I N O n/t

2. I thought she was pleading to congress recently about the

levee funding. Yes I realize she is D-lite but I thought she got in the administration's face about that.

[MO_Dem]

3. I'm beginning to think that NOBODY in power cares

Baghdad Bobs, all of 'em. Time to clean house and senate too.

[LiviaOlivia]

4. Landrieu is Vichy

I would like her to see her deliver that same speech she just spewed on CNN to the people stuck in NO.

[smurfygirl]

5. i posted the other day about her smiling going on

everyone else thinks they are nervous twitches. I seriously wonder about this woman and everyone for that matter. Does anyone really love their country and it's people anymore? seems like both sides of the aisle have been spitting venom at us for a while now.

17. She WAS twitching. n/t

[leftchick]

6. DINO

which means Fuck NO she does not.

[Neecy]

7. well...

She's tried to restore some of the wetlands funding, but on the other hand, she's very cozy with the Exxon/Mobile lobby.

Her groveling to Bush in the last few days has been gross, stomach-churning, but I suppose that if she doesn't he'll screw over LA in funding.

[Jacobin]

8. She grew up in New Orleans

Her father was mayor there for years.

She lost her home there in the hurricane.

She is trying not to piss of the King because she is counting on the King to provide relief to her constituents.

When this is over, you can be sure you will hear from her....in spades

[leftchick]

12. he didn't give money before when they asked for it

he wont give any more than he has to after.

[atreides1]

15. So

What you're saying is that she won't say anything until she gets the money to rebuild her home?

It can't be that she's too worried about her constituents, I mean she was just told that one of them was dead in the street being used
as a buffet by rodents.

With all respect I think that she will keep doing the back patting, even after this crisis is over.

[Jacobin]

25. wtf are you talking about?

Where did I say she's trying to get money from bush to rebuild her house?

[AnnInLa]

16. I agree....the stroking was nauseating but

to go political RIGHT NOW would NOT help the people of N.O. Didn't you guys pick up on the CLUES she was giving about when this is over? you guys are too short-sighted, and must keep in mind what is the best for New Orleans, not for your nauseated stomachs.

If you knew you could get help for YOUR FAMILY, by not going political would you do it??? Huh? Or, would you say, fuck my family, I'm going political.

[seaglass]

22. Agree with you Ann. I think she does care for the people in

N.O. and I think she fought for the funding for the Army Corps of Engineers and didn't get it.

It would be stupid for her to try to score political points right now.

Unfortunately, everyone's looking for targets and she's a convenient one.

[Old and In the Way]

19. Given the smallness of the person she is dealing with, I think you

are correct. Why piss the boy-king off right now? Any criticism will just come back to hurt the city in the future. I think there'll be lots of time to lay the blame when the immediate crisis has passed.

[sundog]

9. all politicians are the same in my eyes at this moment

it started with clinton covering fuckwad's ass today... this is very troubling...

simply the have & the have nots... and the haves don't really give a fuck as long as they cover each other's ass

[Wheezy]

10. I think she does

but she doesn't want to get into the blame game yet. She's trying to get through these days first. Today was the second time she's intimated that there will be a time and place for holding the right people accountable, but for now I think she's desperately trying to rally folks.

At least, I hope that's it.

[Marr]

11. I could not believe her f'ing Bush apologist bullshit.

She wants to thank Frist. She wants to thank Bush. She wants to avoid placing blame.

Fucking DINOS.

[Field Of Dreams]

13. She's a Senator

They spend a lot of time cultivating and maintaining a sense of decorum. It makes them feel civilized. I don't think she realizes her demeanor in the middle of this nightmare makes her look cold and detached.

[BlueJac]

14. What was she smiling about when

Anderson Cooper was upset?

[OBrien]

18. What a moronic question

I'm from New Orleans and so is she enough said

[steve2470]

20. I don't know her. Case closed.

Good bye

[OBrien]

21. sorry, feeling a bit sensitive these days nt

[steve2470]

23. Thanks. I'm sorry your town has been devastated.

Pardon my cynicism about politicians in general. I was expecting her to lay into Bush, but I guess if she does that, it might backfire on her. It sounds like she does care about NOLA. :-)

[ElectroPrincess]

24. Landrieu truly cares about the Middle to Upper-Middle Class First! /eom

Sometimes I wish she'd just make it legal and admit she's a moderate republican.

[KamaAina]

26. Um, she's from there. Her dad Moon Landrieu was mayor.

I see where you're going with this: So why isn't she raising hell about this bungled "relief" effort??
