Aren't the levees a Louisiana problem?
Mmmmmm, I'm sorry Senator the only diplomat we have that's
free to tour the neighborhoods is a Dutchman.
Ok, Ok, it will be good enough for a photo op.
Sounds like she's running scared. Dem politics in LA has been dealt a sharp blow, and she only won by the skin of her teeth last time.
Hahahahahahahaha....What's she going to do, punch them all in the mouth? Bulldoze all the ruined homes, there's your new levees.
Are there such procedural motions? I would think that sixty senators eager to go home for Christmas would be enough to squash this idea. But the Senate is so baroque and bizarre, who knows what she might do?
Any experts care to comment?
The LA State House just blocked a bill to clean up levee corruption.
This corupt, insane bitxx should use the time to determine WHY all the money already sent to Louisiana for the levees -- ended up in some other pork project or Democrat's pocket..
Folks, I remain convinced we should blow all the levees -- allow the water to rise to it's natural level, and then rebuild ONLY productive businesses on the "high ground"...
Semper Fi
I hear HER family has millions...let HER donate her money, NOT ours!!!
The state of Louisiana needs to deal with the levees (and tell the greens to get lost). It is not a federal responsibility!
I get so tired of her whining.
So what is going on here? I suggest that she's trying to force the Senate to approve a pot of money for the usual suspects in LA right away. The more time that the Senate takes to consider this issue, the more likely that it will design an aid program that keeps the money out of the hands of the usual crooks and liars.
Did I miss anything?
Congressman Billybob
why wasn't she this worried about the levees before the hurricane???
After you tell us what happened to the 1.2 BILLION we sent you to fix the levees, more than CA received for its flood control, we will consider it, Little Miss Muffett. Until then, not another dime. By the way, you can't build levees on jello. There is precious little stable soil in that swamp, so this is throwing good money after bad.
Let her try it. And watch what happens when she tries to screw with her colleagues' recess...
I cannot think of a single thing more certain to create yet further disarray in the DemocRAT party than this.
"We've got to get people down here to walk through these neighborhoods, to see these houses, to see the stretch of devastation along the whole Gulf Coast."
It should actually read, "Our dem-o-rat base is no longer here and unless we throw money to get them back, our political careers are f*****."
Why didn't she try this before the recess for Thanksgiving? Why wait until the Christmas recess?
Everything I read says they are in Thanksgiving recess for two weeks. They recessed after the house vote on pulling out of Iraq and will return on December 12th. That is three weeks on my calendar. No wonder we have trouble communicating with these people in DC.
---if one minority member can do this to the "world's greatest deliberative body" we are in even deeper trouble than I thought--and I think we are in awfully deep trouble--
