"Landrieu just said Bush came for a photo op"
I noticed she had her mug right in there w him. It was also the only time that the Gov visited NO. Gads, earlier in the week the press and others were ragging on the Prez for not going down there (as I recall, he wanted to go but the SS wouldn't let him because Landieu's constituents were shooting at rescuers). She's a slimeball.
I just saw a thread up saying that Landrieu threatened to punch W if they blamed the NO police
Wanted to send her an e-mail, but she does not have an e-mail address... Just a website for contacting her. So I will send this as a regular letter...
Senator Lanrieu,
I have just watched your flying interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. Never in my 58 years have I seen such a pitifully attempt to make political hay out of a tragedy. And you picked a soapbox set upon your own constituents' pain and suffering!
Two glaring points stand out in your tirade.
One, the single backhoe you cried shame over. Anyone with eyes could see that there was only room for one backhoe on that break in the levee.
Two, you saying you would punch out anyone, including the President, if there was any criticism of local Louisiana officials after your interview aired. Consider initially that it is against federal law to threaten the President. Lastly with the fact that there were literally hundreds of buses within New Orleans proper that the Mayor could have used to evacuate the city, how can one not find fault? Those buses are now under water, but they were not flooded when the Mayor failed to use them.
I will give all I can to the charities for Louisiana relief. Yet when you run again, I will give double that amount to any one running against you.
You, Senator Lanrieu, are a disgrace to your state and the Senate of the United States.
In the hope you will understand that many, many others will feel the same way over your despicable actions, I am
Very sincerely yours,
Danny Clay Lee
