That is because they've had ineffective representatives in Washington DC. You don't here West Virginians complaining that Washington hasn't invested enough in their state. Say what you want about Bob Byrd. At least he knows how to get the job done.

Seriously. Landrieu really needs to give it a rest. In the middle of the worst catastrophe in the history of her state, all she can think to do is try to score partisan political points. Disgusting.

The Saints have been getting blown away in the Super Dome for 40 years and they survived.

No. They got blown away at the Sugar Bowl before the Dome was built in the 70s.

Military engineer inside the Superdome has reported that there is NO significant structural failure, just 2 minor holes in the roof fabric, NOT structural damage. Bldg is currently structurally sound.

"Mary Landrieu: "No catastrophic damage." (In denial)"


"However, I did see two of each animal go by, being led by some old guy with a long beard.... Being a liberal, I'm not really sure if that's important..."
