Since it's impossible anymore to distinguish satire from truth when it comes to asinine remarks democrats make, please tell me if Landrieu really made the above comment.
This is what happened:
"Sen. Mary Landrieu threatened the president of the United States with physical violence on Sunday, saying that if he or any other government official criticizes New Orleans police for failing to keep civil order in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - "I might likely have to punch him - literally."
"If one person criticizes [our sheriffs], or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me - one more word about it after this show airs and I - I might likely have to punch him - literally," Landrieu railed on "ABC's "This Week."

I first read about it on FR. I believe someone posted a link encouraging us to write our reps and express our displeasure.I understand she is a little unhinged at the moment, but this was just plain weird. And illegal. Her little brother really is the Lt. Governor. In this article
http://www.whereyat.net/53 it states that he is pushing for transportation enhancements. After viewing those photos of the flooded school buses, I thought that it was sort of ironic.
