Interesting transcript. Not a single tough question in the bunch.

And he had the nerve to decry finger-pointing -- after he ripped the slowness of the response. Typical CYA.

Gee, can anyone think of a more important use of taxpayers money???

ROUGE — Improvements to Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu's office in the Capitol Annex and creation of his apartment and office at the Pentagon Barracks have cost taxpayers $955,000 since he was elected in 2003.

His staff says the spending is a critical part of efforts to improve the state's image. Others point out that the state already had a $263 million backlog on its list of critical repairs to other buildings and property.

He looks just like Mary. . .if she had a beard and did not color her hair, of course.

An amazing oversight not to draw the picture of the family politics here. . .

Did Ray know? Inquiring minds need to find out ;^) (At the least, let PBS know, ,that we recognize an 'oversight' when we see one.)

Little Mary was absent for the first week or so. Prolly took her that long to memorize the Dim talking points she was supposed to use.
