Senator Mary L. Landrieu (D-LA) just said the levees broke because...

...of "gross neglect from the federal government."

C-Span, Democratic meeting in New Orleans.

1. And she is right.

Good for her.

[fishwax]

2. good for her for saying it

it certainly needs to be said. This kind of negligence should be an issue in this fall's elections ...

3. That's news to Mary Matalin. LOL

Matalin lied on several of her morning television appearances this week and claimed that Landreau had praised the Bush administration for their efforts down in "Nawlins"

What a witch. And that's putting it nicely.

4. Yet....She Still Enjoys Kissing The Federal Govt's Ass

So Mary....how come you still side with the repubs so often?

6. She's a democrat in the deep south

trying to do the best she can. I dunno. I routinely bitched at her through emails when I lived there. I always did have the feeling she was trying to do the best she could for her constituents. Maybe I was wrong. It's hard to judge in a state that produces politicos like the Longs and Edwin Edwards.

8. Also represents a resource rich state

I disagree with her positions regarding the oil and gas industry, but also understand she is trying to protect the interests of her state. At the end of the day, she is one of the "good guys."

5. Homeland Security took the money intended

for the levees and applied it to security.... Put the blame where it belongs from start to finish... This administration and their total incompetance...

7. Is Mary still planning to put a hold on each presidential

judicial appointment? (I've been out of touch for the last few weeks.) Thanks for any info.

9. I don't trust her ...

any farther than I can throw a feather. She's more of a DINO in my book.
