Mary "Brown Roots" Landrieu has chosen to stand with the DNC and Kathleen Blanco, consequences be damned. The more loony her statements, the more she alienates the very voters she'll need in three years. She's never been very popular outside of New Orleans, and she's not all that popular there. She's gotten by for the last 9 years by staying under the radar and being seen as a cute lady. Now that she's spouting off like the unholy offspring of Barbara Boxer and Patty Murray, she's revealing the true liberal wingnut that was kept hidden all these years.

Like Kathleen Blanco, another grossly incompetent liberal hack, this disaster has revealed just how lacking the RAT party in Louisiana has become. Blanco is finished as a politician. If she isn't recalled, impeached, or forced to resign, she'll be thrown out in 2008 for the same reason Mary's political future is on life support: New Orleans will not be the factor in the next couple of election cycles that it usually is because it will take years to rebuild the city, and a lot of those "reliable voters" have left the state. Some will return, but many won't. Without New Orleans to offset the rest of the state, neither one has a chance.

As it is, I think Blank-0 has been reduced to irrelevancy already. Those of us who've known her over the years weren't surprised by the arrogant high-handedness she's put on display for the entire world to see the last couple of weeks. She kept it hidden behind the facade of the concerned hausfrau image she's maintained for her political career. Truth is, she's an arrogant, elitist, clueless snob. Her husband and her entire family are the same way. Louisiana voters prefer their pols to be populists in the mold of Huey Long or Edwin Edwards, or at least down to earth like Mike Foster. Blanco is neither a populist, nor is she from this planet. ;^)

By the way, here's a good one: More on Katrina [Ben Stein]
