FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 28, 2005

Sen. Landrieu Statement on Hurrican Katrina

WASHINGTON -- United States Senator Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., issued the following statement from the Hurricane Command Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

"I would like to commend both Governor Blanco and all of the local leaders who have done a tremendous job helping the people of Louisiana prepare for Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, the reverberations of this storm will be felt not only in Louisiana but across the nation.

"Our port system provides the nation with the transportation needs for our country's economy and commerce while our coastline provides the energy for our homes and industries. And Louisiana's unique wetlands provide our state with a buffer zone from natural disasters such as hurricanes. But our wetlands have been eroding. As I have said before, in order for us to protect America's energy supply and transportation needs, the federal government must join with the people of Louisiana to preserve America's wetlands. "But as we have not weathered all of Katrina yet, we ask the American people to keep us in their thoughts and prayers at this time."

Hahaha

[AmishDude]

Whoa! Very nice catch.

[metmom]

..state was prepared for Katrina..?

I don't think so.

[Dog Gone]

Tremendous job!

[SandRat]

If that's what you believe Senator then you are incapable of using even the outside facilities much less the thunder mug without getting it all over your hands in in your drawers.

[AmishDude]

I love how "Hurrican" is misspelled in the title.

Oh, and the link hasn't been excised from the web page. Anybody want to cache this?

No wonder she was in full Moonbat this morning.

[mewzilla]

Whoa. Good find! Busted.

Gee, if she thinks this was good preparation, then Landrieu must just be thrilled with the Feds' response...

[Salvation]

Hehehe!

[MizSterious]

Did I miss something? Although the headline says the state is prepared, I don't see the senator actually saying that. Just like a 'Rat, plausible deniability...

[Peach]

Oh, yes. New Orleans was prepared alright. They even had a Plan.

The Plan was "Every man for himself". And then of course there was the "Screw the poor without resources" section of The Plan.

[cwb]

Well...I think this explains her irrational attitude of late: Guilt and a lot of Projection.

[Clara Lou]

Between this and her threat to slug GW, she looks like a double-wide horse's patootie.

[DoughtyOne]

Before this hurricane I wondered how a person like Landreau could get elected to office.

NEVERMIND!

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

Good Job!!

[Dolphy]

Think of it a different way...does Landrieu call prepared failing to effectively mobilize and feed thousands and thousands, most of whom are black, poor, elderly, sick, etc.?

[FlingWingFlyer]

A copy of this should be placed in the hands of EVERY "refugee" who lived in Louisiana.

[badpacifist]

Good job! I didn't watch any news shows today and all of a sudden some of my compassion for those who suffered came back. I missed it. Is this the same woman who said she was gonna punch the prez?

[Arkie2]

Let's see. Landrieu is a Senator because Bill Clinton ordered the NO democratic machine to get off it's ass and manufacture votes at the last minute.

Oops. Just another corrupt bought and payed for Louisiana politician backscratching her likewise corrupt incometent mates in state govt.

[Sisku Hanne]

What kid of idiotic rambling press statement is that?? Trying to pitch for FED dollars for their wetlands...ooops back to the real crisis at hand- the "hurrican". Good grief this woman is a wicked fool.

[Brilliant]

She's in denial. That is the worst place to be if you're a politician.
