Call Mary Landrieu at this number and tell her Anderson Cooper

[DebJ]

was right on. Tell her kissing Bush's butt is NOT the way to prevent things like this from happening. Tell her to get some conjones or switch parties. She was just nauseating. Cooper said what I wanted to say.

1. busy.

but I'll keep trying. She needs to hear some truthtelling.

Fucking stupid woman.

[Totally Committed]

2. Landrieu = D I N O n/t

TC

[cdsilv]

3. actually, the ONLY way to get anything out of bush is ....

... to kiss his ass.

So maybe she's doing the right thing - calling him on his idiocy would probably result in a tantrum and his stalling on aid to NOLA.

[atreides1]

12. That only applies

If you're a member of the Republican party, DINOS get very little, unless you're Zell Miller.

[Pithy Cherub]

4. Landrieu laid down on the people of Louisiana by not

firmly syaing this was a effing humanitarian disaster that did not need to happen. Instead her lips are still suction cupped to Bush's ass. What a dim Dem!

[DebJ]

7. She is NOT a Dem, not by any means or any vote!

[marbuc]

19. Now is the time for her to help the recovery effort

and she is doing exactly what she should be. When things settle down she can dissect the response and lessons learned, and lay blame where it is due, and I will expect her to do so.

[DebJ]

5. I just called...and got the pleasure of hearing a human voice and

not a recording. I told them I'd contribute to her Democratic competitor when she runs for re-election. Boy, did I give them an earful.

[Neecy]

6. no, please don't

Her phones are probably inundated with citizens of Louisiana who need HELP. Please don't jam the lines calling to bitch at her - send an email instead.

[speedoo]

13. ummm... the people who need help don't have phones. n/t

[Neecy]

16. not necessarily

Some people - say, a million - did evacuate over the weekend - and I presume the phones are still working in Texas. Her constituents are spread all through the south right now, and might want some help from the federal government.

[shance]

21. I agree with Neecy. I don't think it will help Louisianans to further

potentially put Landrieu on the defensive. That will move her in the other direction, and much of this has been beyond her control.

Remember it's her state. She certainly loves it and wants what is best for NO like other Louisianians do. She is much more conservative than I am but she is not a Republican. Lets leave our primary anger towards those who have contributed most heavily to this disaster.

Anderson Cooper got a very important point across on national television. She made a mistake by thanking those who have contributed to the problem and Im glad Anderson called her on it. I believe it was warranted.

However, the system with which she works in has required her to respond in certainly less than the most courageous of ways, namely flattery and kissing some toads to get funding. Doesnt make it right, but its the way it is. It's a system that we have all been party to creating I believe.

I don't think it will benefit Louisianians or anyone by further ostracizing and placing Sen. Landrieu on the defensive. That is NOT to say concstructive criticism isn't in order. It is. However, I think it might even be more beneficial to let her know she has your support.

Just a thought.

[BobMorr]

8. Done

Left a message about her poor leadership. Really read her off. Keep calling!!

[eleny]

9. With or without W - America is there for LA, Mississippi & Alabama

[sickinohio]

10. Calling right now!!

[SmokingJacket]

11. Could be she NEEDS to buttkiss at this point to get help for her state.

I don't know.

But it really is beyond imagining that anyone would see what the administration has (or more accurately, has not) done as a reasonable, adequate response.

[Wizard777]

18. If MARY says treason or impeachment. I'm behind her! Go Proud Mary!

Actually at this point I think the entire WORLD is behind her. Big wheels keep on turning! Proud Mary keep on Burning! Bush isn't Pumping NO more pain down in New Orleans. Just say the word hon.

[sickinohio]

14. Done!!

I told the person that answered the phone that I just saw the AC show, and she made me embarrassed to be a Dem right now. We need people representing us that aren't in it to kiss the chimp administration's butt. He said he would pass the message along to the Senator.

[Pallas180]

15. reccomended. Cooper awesome. Landrieux support of bush shocking

nominated

[B Calm]

17. When the time is right, she will discuss.. Kiss My Ass

[DainBramaged]

20. I just called and told the person who answered...

instead of backslapping Bush and Frist and the Republican morons who got us into this mess she should get her pretty showered ass out there and hand out food and water.

he didn't cut me off. I said thanks for listening and hung up.
