Behold: Mary Landrieu in full meltdown
Hot Air.com ^ | December 3, 2014 | Guy Benson

t’s almost the end of the line for the Mary Express, and she knows it. First, she tripled down on her ‘sexism and racism’ smear against an electorate that has entrusted her (a woman!) with 18 years in the US Senate, and that handed Gov. Bobby Jindal (whose skin is brown!) a re-election victory so comprehensive that he carried every single parish in the state. Then, she offered no comment after top aides and supporters confirmed Republicans’ principal charge against her, and exhorted partisan Democrats to vote illegally. Next, she blundered through her final debate, assailing her Republican opponent for allegedly collecting an improper pittance for his medical treatment of under-served patients (a calling card of his career as a doctor), which helpfully teed up a clean hit on her unethical use of taxpayer money to fund dozens of private jet flights. Now she’s lashing out at her own party, accusing them of abandoning her — a gripe that is not inaccurate, and a tactical decision that is not unjustified:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) lobbed a barb at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Tuesday, saying they effectively abandoned her after the Nov. 4 midterm election. “I am extremely disappointed in the Democratic Senatorial [Campaign] Committee. I’ve said that. You know, they just walked away from this race,” Landrieu said in response to a Washington Post question about Democratic groups mainly staying on the sidelines during the runoff. She made her remarks after a rally here just steps from City Hall…A DSCC spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

No comment? That’s cold, bro. Yesterday we highlighted a Landrieu campaign radio ad aimed primarily at black voters that asserts that the Birther-dominated Republican Party “will impeach” President Obama if Bill Cassidy beats Landrieu. They might as well have added, ‘because the Constitution dictates that impeachments of black presidents become mandatory when the opposing party controls 54, not 53, Senate seats.’ The spot asserts that Cassidy has shown Obama “so much disrespect.” What specifically do you mean by that, Senator Landrieu, since you personally approved the ad?

ummm MT @daveweigel: Landrieu, asked what Cassidy does to “disrespect the president,” says he calls him “by his last name” instead of title.

— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) December 2, 2014

Cassidy sometimes calls President Obama, “Obama”? Disrespect, bordering on hate speech. One wonders what sort of commercial Landrieu would’ve run if Cassidy had mused aloud about assaulting the president:

President Bush faced increasingly bitter complaints today from local and state officials in the battered Gulf Coast region as he struggled to exert control over a disaster that almost surely claimed thousands of lives. Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, a Democrat, said today that she was so angry about federal failures and second-guessing that if she heard any more criticism of local efforts, even from the president, she might “punch” him.

Someone arrest this dangerous woman who disrespected Our President by threatening physical violence! I’ll leave you with a new ad from the Black Conservatives Fund, which condenses the pro-voter fraud harangue they caught on tape into a 3o second television spot:

The elder Don Cravins’ disgraceful comments are certainly worth highlighting, but I suspect the extraordinary affirmation from Landrieu chief of staff Don Cravins, Jr. that she’ll continue supporting Obama 97 percent of the time if re-elected might be the more impactful message to broadcast in the home stretch of this campaign.

this is historically significant because it marks the end of a democratic politically dynasty in louisiana going back to huey long. as mary disappears under the waves, that entire dynasty disappears with it. she knows it, the dynasty knows it, and everyone is or will soon be in the first stage of grief over it.

Not to worry. She doesn't have the money to pay them to get off the couch.

Mary Landrieu ‘effectively abandoned’ on airwaves, website reports

December 3, 2014 Elizabeth Crisp

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu is facing her runoff fight virtually alone — at least on the television airwaves, according to a new analysis from the Center for Public Integrity.

CPI has been tracking political TV ads throughout the election cycle. Just days ahead of Saturday’s runoff between Landrieu and Republican challenger U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, CPI found pro-Landrieu groups have aired fewer than 100 TV ads since the Nov. 4 primary — with most of those coming from the Humane Society Legislative Fund.

“That’s less than 1 percent of the 14,000 TV ads that have aired during the Landrieu vs. Cassidy runoff,” CPI reports.

Read the full analysis of who’s been hitting the Louisiana airwaves ahead of the runoff here.

I’m very glad that I know plenty of very smart and active conservative women (including my wife). Were I to only gain knowledge of lib women through their statements for the public, I would most assuredly be convinced the dumbest of them go into politics and that the Muzzies are correct and that women are subspecies to be covered, bound, and used as animals.

Like most communist libs, this one is blaming everyone but itself for its downfall. If this thing dressed in drag, it would look just like odongo.
All of us Louisiana boys working over here in the south Texas oil patch took advantage of the early voting during the Thanksgiving holiday to vote against this fat, ugly thing. Thankfully, we didn’t have to lose work dollars to vote against it.

Holy Guacamole, those are some extremely ugly examples human females!

I mean, man, that’s the stuff nightmares are made out of O_O

Hillary looks like a freakin’ slack jawed yokel, and Scary Mary looks like she can barely overcome their combined girth with are upper appendages there.

I’m amazed how much those politicians love their jobs. I wonder what’s so great about it.

How many chocolates in the cake-hole is it going to take to “fix” this.

Was interesting listening to UNO pollester ED Sherman or something like that spin that Mary cleaned Bill’s clock in the final debate.

That was on WRNO.com the day after that debate. I’m pretty sure Ed’s a demoncrat.

Mary will move to a northern state and run and almost win/win. It worked for Hillary. Some people just can’t give up POWER.

LA Freepers—Please get out the vote on Saturday, Dec. 6th.

It is important that all the folks against Landrieu actually VOTE, and not think that “George will do it”.

We have to beat even the margin for voter fraud, because you know there are ballots being manufactured for Saturday as we speak.

So, talk it up, encourage your family and friends to do their civic duty for REAL change in DC!
+9!

She wasn’t always a porker. I met her at a Christmas party at a law firm in Metairie, LA back in the 1980s when she was just a state politician, and she was a little thing, and actually rather pleasant. Her politics sucked, but she was not the harridan she eventually became.
