I hate to inject politics into this, but why is Mary Landrieu mugging for the TV cameras, anyway? She's not the governor or mayor. She doesn't control the Louisiana National Guard or the New Orleans. She doesn't control FEMA or any federal executive branch department. She'd better serve her constituents by quietly liaising with federal and state officials.

Not to mention that the Senate is back in session tonight, and she's not there.

Actually, I just heard Frist on CNN say that only a few would actually be in the Senate. They just are going to pass the bill unanimously...already have consent from all members of the Senate...without the actual Senators being in the Capital. They do not need a quorem.
