Mary Landrieu replaces campaign manager
Politico ^ | Oct 8, 2014 | By JAMES HOHMANN |

Posted on 10/08/2014 7:32:31 PM PDT by Jet Jaguar

In what appears to be a significant October campaign shakeup, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu is replacing her campaign manager and hiring her former chief of staff as a senior adviser.

The Democrat has pushed Adam Sullivan out of the manager role and replaced him with Ryan Berni, who ran her brother Mitch’s reelection campaign as New Orleans mayor. Berni is a former aide to Clintonista and Louisianan James Carville.

Polls show Landrieu falling short of the 50 percent she needs to avoid a December runoff, and Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy has a slight lead in head-to-head matchups.

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, which first reported the changes, wrote that aides would not say why Sullivan is being replaced, “other than to say she’s bringing in people she’s comfortable with and has relied on for previous campaigns.”

Former Landrieu chief of staff Norma Jane Sabiston, who worked on the three previous campaigns, is taking a leave from her consulting firm to work on the race as a senior adviser.

I’m sure this is because she’s doing great.

It would help her, if, she didn’t have the brain of a parrot.

Miss Mary has cruised on her last name long enough. It is time she got the boot!

Unless she changed her campaign manager to Jesus, she is still fork ready.

Oh, wait - perhaps a really good Russian or Chinese hacker to hack the voting boots - gotta “true the vote”, allowing the poor repressed classes, AKA the “GibsMeDat’s, to vote for more ‘free sh*t’ taken from those nasty Crackas.

Not true. I’ve seen parrots trained to do useful and entertaining things. Landrieu- nope.

Kind of late in the day to change horses in mid stream.

Here is hoping her days of taxpayer funded Gulf Stream IV private jet flights are numbered.

My husband calls her “Hillary” Landrieu. If you saw them both walking from behind, you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Probably not the front view either.

There’s a debate with her and Maness only tomorrow night on the local NBC affiliate in New Orleans. I think it’s being broadcast statewide.

dear murron,

The only broadcast I see for the CENLA area is on PBS, on the 19th, at 1300/1PM.

The little pig from the chocolate city, who uses her parents’ house as her legal residence, has her clusterbuck center in New Orleans.

I think Thom Tillis should fire Karl Rove as his campaign manager

If that’s the case, then I stand corrected.

"I would like to commend both Governor Blanco and all of the local leaders who have done a tremendous job helping the people of Louisiana prepare for Hurricane Katrina." - Landrieu Says State is Prepared For Katrina - 8-28-05

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 28, 2005

Sen. Landrieu Statement on Hurrican Katrina

WASHINGTON -- United States Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., issued the following statement from the Hurricane Command Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

"I would like to commend both Governor Blanco and all of the local leaders who have done a tremendous job helping the people of Louisiana prepare for Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, the reverberations of this storm will be felt not only in Louisiana but across the nation.

"Our port system provides the nation with the transportation needs for our country's economy and commerce while our coastline provides the energy for our homes and industries. And Louisiana's unique wetlands provide our state with a buffer zone from natural disasters such as hurricanes. But our wetlands have been eroding. As I have said before, in order for us to protect America's energy supply and transportation needs, the federal government must join with the people of Louisiana to preserve America's wetlands. "But as we have not weathered all of Katrina yet, we ask the American people to keep us in their thoughts and prayers at this time."

Mary Landrieu: I'll Punch Bush, 'Literally' NewsMax.com ^ | Sept. 4, 2005 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on ‎9‎/‎4‎/‎2005‎ ‎10‎:‎19‎:‎18‎ ‎AM by Carl/NewsMax

Sen. Mary Landrieu threatened the president of the United States with physical violence on Sunday, saying that if he or any other government official criticizes New Orleans police for failing to keep civil order in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - "I might likely have to punch him - literally."

"If one person criticizes [our sheriffs], or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me - one more word about it after this show airs and I - I might likely have to punch him - literally," Landrieu railed on "ABC's "This Week."

It is illegal to threaten the president with physical violence.

The Louisiana Democrat blasted Bush for neglecting the New Orleans levees, and demanded that he stop using the disaster for "photo-ops."

"The president came here yesterday for a photo-op," Landrieu charged, while surveying the disaster scene via helicopter with "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos in tow. "He got his photo-op but we are never going to get this fixed if he does not send us help now."

Landrieu also blamed Bush for cutting funding for levee improvement, before bursting into tears on camera.

In recent days, Louisiana officials have been criticized for bungling evacuation and rescue efforts. One of those officials, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, is Sen. Landrieu's brother.

In case no one remembers, the New Orleans levees' improvements were denied because of the environmentalists.
