CROCODILE TEARS:Mary Landrieu's Emotional Defense of "Louisiana Purchase"
The Lid/Various ^ | 2/5/2010 | The Lid

Posted on 02/05/2010 7:40:58 AM PST by Shellybenoit

Poor Mary Landrieu, yesterday she emotionally critics of " Louisiana Purchase" a $3-400 Million costly Medicaid provision she got for her home state in exchange for her vote for cloture to allow the health-care bill to reach the senate floor.

In a 30-minute Senate floor speech, Landrieu described how a faulty Medicaid formula for her state, related to a surge in federal aid following Hurricane Katrina, had created a Medicaid funding gap of up to $600 million. She provided letters and other documents to show support from Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal and GOP members of the Louisiana congressional delegation, including Sen. David Vitter, who voted against the Senate bill.

Doesn’t she have to wait for the bill to pass before getting the funds? Or was it millions just for the vote?!

I watched, what a baby. No back room deal my foot. Day before she voted, I’m not voting for this bill. As soon as they add 300million she voted for it. She’s not going to throw her state under the bus, just the rest of the country.

This reminds me of Robert Wuhl’s HBO special where he said he saw Sally Struthers pleading to give money for food to 3rd world children. He gave money then kept noticing that children were still starving, but Sally kept getting fatter and fatter. Wondered where the money was really going to.

Bobby J is almost as guilty as Piggy Mary. Why do WE have to clean up the mess in Louisiana because their state and local governments were corrupt and incompetent? Bail them out (again), and watch what happens. They will NEVER correct their problems.

Suck it up Mary. You and your cronies were the cause of the disaster in Louisiana. Not a taxpayer in North Dakota.

And stop eating, for God’s sake. You used to be one of the more attractive females in Congress. Now you are developing Michelle/Hillary mega thighs and ass.

If Massachusetts can elect Scott Brown, Louisiana ought to be able to take care of the Landrieu situation. Oh, wait, she is MOON’s daughter.

You are SO correct. If you want to see where this country is headed under 0, just take a look at the 9th Ward of New Orleans.

So a whore can whine and cry. Big surprise. She is a whore and we ought to call her that at every turn. And she’s a fat whore at that.

Senator Mary Landrieu has all of the personal integrity and honesty of a madam in a Cheap New Orleans’ house of ill-repute with none of the class!

Sorry as much as I don’t like her, I don’t like the ugly name calling at all.

We tried to tell her but she wouldn’t answer the phone. In 2012 we hope she won’t have an office phone to answer.

I am not PC. I have never been PC and I will die not being PC. I don’t believe in control of the language. It is just another National Socialist way of taking your freedom.

If Mary Landrieu is crying a river Ben Nelson should be in sack cloth and ashes.
