Senator Mary Landrieu -“I often think we would have been better off if the terrorists had blown up our leveesâ€
That’s what she said, freaking unbelievable:
“Louisiana Democratic Senator Mary Landrieu had harsh words for the federal government on the eve of hearings into the progress of rebuilding the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Landrieu blamed the government for much of the devastation caused by Katrina and for the slow pace of recovery in Louisiana.
“I often think we would have been better off if the terrorists had blown up our levees,†she said. “Maybe we’d have gotten more attention.â€
Landrieu also had strong words for many people in Washington who, she says, unfairly portrays Louisiana as the nation’s most corrupt state.
“Mississippi is actually the most corrupt state in the Union, but you never hear that, because there’s some political undertones about having Mississippi look so good and having Louisiana not look so good at the national level,†she said, echoing a theme put forth the past week by Governor Kathleen Blanco, who said that Mississippi received more aid because its governor is a Republican.”
Oh, “Mary, Mary, who are you blaming now?” Like a Democrat, of course, it’s everybody’s fault but theirs.
Of course you’ll remember her interviewwith CNN’s Anderson Cooper just after Katrina:
“Shortly after the aftermath of the hurricane, Landrieu was involved in a testy exchange with Anderson Cooper of CNN in which she praised President Bush and the Senate for responding to Katrina and appropriating money for the effort. To which Cooper responded: “Excuse me, Senator, I’m sorry for interrupting. I haven’t heard that, because, for the last four days, I’ve been seeing dead bodies in the streets here in Mississippi. And to listen to politicians thanking each other and complimenting each other, you know, I got to tell you, there are a lot of people here who are very upset, and very angry, and very frustrated.” [5] After this exchange, Landrieu began to criticize President Bush very harshly for his response to Katrina in subsequent interviews.”
So you would have been better off if terrorists hit the place eh? Nice.
By the way, as having kin in Missippi, you need to check your facts on who has a greater history of corruption. NO state of the union even comes close to that of YOUR homestate.
As it was said by a former politician from Louisianna, “Half of Louisiana is under water and the other half is under indictment.” Heh, just ask “Dollar Bill” Jefferson!

The levee debacle is domestic terrorism. Billions of our tax dollars went to Louisiana for Levee improvements over the years, and from there, it fell into the deep, black abyss of the politicians’ pockets. What can the voters be thinking?
