wow ... Mitch McConnell says that the "Louisiana Purchase" is fresh

[zbdent]

in the minds of U.S. citizens, when it comes to "legislation ran through at the last minute" ...

How about that 3am legislation that Republicans forced, after breaking all their rules about limiting debate? That's not "fresh" in the minds of the U.S. citizens, mainly because of the "liberal media bias" ...

1. That purchase

ultimately worked out pretty well for the US. So he just defeated his own arguement.

[Journeyman]

2. Seems a pretty decent outcome from that particular rushed legislation. . .

Would McConnell prefer we return the "heart of Republican support" to the French so he and his cohorts can "discuss its acquisition at leisure"?

[RZM]

3. Could he be talking about health care?

And the concessions the WH had to make to Mary Landrieu to get her vote?

[brooklynite]

4. Add to that, we rescued all that territory from the FRENCH!

[OHdem10]

5. Louisiana Purch was Landrieu's Earmark. in order to get her vote

on Health Care.

6. If that's the remark he's referring to, then he'd better clarify that ...

otherwise, he's preaching to his choir again ... because, when you say "cornhusker kickback", it comes up on wiki, but "Louisiana Purchase" still has a resonance with pretty much everybody but those "in the know" as how we acquired a HUGE (hugh!1!!) amount of land in the U.S. ...

7. How old is that self serving aggrandizer?

We'll be right here if you should decide to join us in the 21st Century, Mitch...
