I was just watching Fox News Sunday interview Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and I couldn't believe what she was saying. Here's my transcript of part of it. Sorry if I've mangled any of the proper names; I'm not going to go to the trouble of looking them up:
Chris Wallace: "Was it incompetent and insulting for Mayor Ray nagin to order a mandatory evacuation, but then to leave buses -- and we have a picture of them -- hundreds of buses idle so that they could be flooded instead of using them to get people out?"
Senator Landrieu: "Well, Chris, I was there as you know through the whole ordeal with state and local officials, and was right there with Louisiana Democrats and Republicans, city council members, police chiefs, mayors, and governors. And could watch what Hayley Barbour was doing and Governor Reilly in Alabama. I am not going to level criticism at the local level. These people did ..."
Wallace: "But I'd like to answer if you could this one significant question ..."
Landrieu: "I will answer it. I'm not going to level criticism at local and state officials. Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, less [sic] alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane. It's because this administration and administrations before them do not understand the difficulties that mayors, whether they're in Orlando, Miami, or New Orleans face. In other words, ..."
Wallace: "But but wait. Senator. Senator ..."
Landrieu: "... this administration does not believe in mass transit. They won't even get people to work on a sunny day less [sic] alone getting them out ..."
Wallace: "But Senator. Senator, there were hundreds of buses sitting in that parking lot ..."
Landrieu: "... less [sic] alone getting them out ... I'll tell you why ..."
Wallace: " ... can I just ask the question?"
Landrieu: "You can, but let me finish ...
Wallace" "Well ... well ... well there were hundreds of buses ... if I might ... here, we're looking at a picture ... there were hundreds of buses in parking lots. THe city ... It wasn't underwater before the evacuation."
Landrieu: "Those buses were underwater ..."
Walace: "They weren't underwater on Sunday ..."
Landrieu: "We had two catastrophes. We had a hurricane and then we had a levee break. When the levee broke, not only did New Orleans go underwater, but Saint Bernard went underwater, and Saint Tammany parish went underwater ..."
Wallace: "But they weren't underwater on Sunday ..."
Landrieu: "... and Plackman went underwater. And because the mayor evacuated the city, we had the best evacuation between Hayley Barbour and Kathleen Blanco of any evacuation I've sen. I'm 50 years old, I've never seen one any better."
Walace: "But there were 100,000 people left in the city."
Landrieu: "They did 100,000 people left in the city because this federal government won't support cities to evacuate people, whether it's from earthquakes, tornados, or hurricanes. That's the truth, and that will come out in the hearings."
oh yeah, oprah and crissy will "woe is me" her. Same old dsame old. It's predictable. Does the woman ever smile? She's in the right party isn't she? Always doom and gloom, doom and gloom.
yes, she is stupid, dishonest, partisan. but to be honest, its working for her. so long as there is no rebuttal to these rantings from the administration, she and the other Dems can continue to form their own reality about it and the MSM will push it.
Wow, I wonder if her constituents really believe this stuff??? I certainly hope their is a close oversight committee when the feds start handing out big money to rebuild that shi*hole she runs.
Good God in Heaven..........
Thanks forthe transcript.
I'll bet Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, et al, are going to have Roast Landrieu for lunch tomorrow. This is Hugh.
Your analogy is quite apt (coming from a former flyer).
Allow me to add.......she never would have been accepted to 'flight training' in the first place if this was a truly fair world. The woman's a blithering idiot.
And the Winner of the most HILARIOUS line of the day...
MARY LANDRIEU!!!
"This administration doesn't believe in mass transportation."
What we need is more of the media to ask these serious questions as to what went wrong, and not take the DNC point of view!
New Orleans believes in Mass Transit.
Tourist need to get around the city.

She looks just like Mr. Bill, right before he gets flattened by something. "OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
I send them emails frequently; it never hurts for them to get more emails complaining about their biased coverage and ommission of critical information. The more they know you know, the better change there is that they will actually report it. Maybe!!! :-)
For that exchange, she should have been sitting across the table from Brit or O' Reilly.
That's funny. Thanks.
Sadly, it wouldn't surprised me if scary Mary actually said that ;-P
She won't get voted back in, nor will Nagin, nor will Blanco because their voting base is in HOUSTON, SAN ANTONIO etc......
They are hyperventilating as we speak because they know that the people that were able to get to higher ground are not their voting base........yahooo Louisiana to be a REPUBLICAN STATE sooonnnnnnnnn.....
Where is Mary in the food chain at this point? I hope Bill is out of town, because I'll bet the lamps are a flyin' over Chateau Clinton, bwahahahaha!!!
I guess nobody whants to address my comments. Am I wrong?
Hahaha, good one! How about dumber than a sack of dead kittens?
