Sen. Mary Landrieu: Did she Insult 9-11 Heroes on Anniversary? [and Rush ping]

[Newsmax Quote] ^

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

[My two cents as in Arthur's freep-remarks]

[Sloth]

Well, 9-11-01 was a beautiful sunny day. Those cops and firefighters probably would have stayed home if it had been raining and whatnot. < /sarcasm >

[siunevada]

Maybe she should punch herself in the mouth.

[Rosemont]

Rush talking about her now.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Rush is nailing this!

[saveliberty]

She would miss.

[eyespysomething]

literally

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Rush is asking if this is the 'soft bigotry of low expectations?'

[Rosemont]

Landrieu dodges

[Rosemont]

Her answer was ridiculous

[Republican Red]

Rush is playing this clip now. He is laughing saying if a white Senator or white Governor of the Republican party said this the "racist" comment would be blasting her.

She is implying that the black employees won't work even on a sunny day. Imagine if Trent Lott had said this?

[Churchillspirit]

Ask the then mayor of New York - Rudy Guiliani how hard it was to get his people to work on the sunny days after September 11th. 2001.

What a disgrace this Landrieu woman is. Let us ensure that her remarks are not forgotten.

"Those cops and firefighters probably would have stayed home if it had been raining and whatnot. < /sarcasm >"

Thank you. It is an insult to our nation's heroes. I imagine there are heroic bus drivers, too-- all across the country, and even in NOLA.

I've thought about what she said, and as she followed up with a commenta bout mass transportation, I've reached the conclusion that "their people" is not a reference to the city emplyees, it is a reference to the entire population of the city.

Having a hard time getting the people to work on a sunny day describes traffic snarls, accident response, etc.

Plus, it is just like a liberal to think of the entire population as "theirs."

[Rosemont]

All LA politicians are reading from the same script--CYA

[manwiththehands]

"Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane."

"and it's all Bush's fault ..."

[meandog]

Is it just me, or do others see the once fairly attractive Mary Landreau looking more, and more, like the Hidabeaste in appearance as she grows older and more liberal?

[BMC1]

She avoided answering a number of questions but she did filibuster. That's what democrats when they're they don't want to answer questions.

They also like to lie a lot.

[RogueIsland]

Her comment was dumb, but Newsmax, in Newsmax fashion, took the line out of context. She meant that because of the "Bush budget cuts" to mass transit, cities couldn't transport their people to work on a good day, no less move people during a hurricane. She's still an idiot making an idiotic comment, but Newsmax' staff either has a comprehension problem or is deliberately trying to foster a false understanding of what she said.
