Sen. Mary Landrieu threatened the president of the United States with physical violence on Sunday, saying that if he or any other government official criticizes New Orleans police for failing to keep civil order in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - "I might likely have to punch him - literally."
"If one person criticizes [our sheriffs], or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me - one more word about it after this show airs and I - I might likely have to punch him - literally," Landrieu railed on "ABC's "This Week."
It is illegal to threaten the president with physical violence.
The Louisiana Democrat blasted Bush for neglecting the New Orleans levees, and demanded that he stop using the disaster for "photo-ops."
"The president came here yesterday for a photo-op," Landrieu charged, while surveying the disaster scene via helicopter with "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos in tow. "He got his photo-op but we are never going to get this fixed if he does not send us help now."
Landrieu also blamed Bush for cutting funding for levee improvement, before bursting into tears on camera.
In recent days, Louisiana officials have been criticized for bungling evacuation and rescue efforts. One of those officials, Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu, is Sen. Landrieu's brother.

If Landreau hangs around Baton Rouge too her cycle will synchronize with the Governor's. Then where will they be.

She needs to publicly apologize for these words. Can you imagine if Trent Lott or Haley Barbour had said this over in Mississippi?

The head of the Secret Service might think about a public statement re threats to the President and mention, was it Squeaky Frome?
Was Squeaky Frome the one who shot at Ford?
We should start calling Mary a new name. mary "squeaky frome" Landrieu.

They jail mental cases all the time for threatening the presidents even people that are already locked up. Ive seen the secret service question convicts for hours and then get them 3 years in a fed prison for threats.

That was Bill that threatened Hastert, not Hillary.

Few things shock me any longer coming from the Dems, but this does. A Senator threatening the President with physical violence is unthinkable. Anyone know the reaction to the host when she said this?
I am sure she lacks the understanding of the implications of her comments, but I do not think it can just be brushed off and blamed on her ignorance.
I truly hope more new services pick up on this. I see All Headlines News has, but no one else so far that I have found

Does someone have her email address. I would like to express my digust for the NOPD, NO Mayor, LA Governor, etc. I will include my home address so she can come and slap my face.
Of course, I will be more than willing to drive her to the hospital after she does.

Other than Hillary this is arguably my least favorite Senator. She threatened her opponent in the 2002 election as well: "This will be your last campaign!"
To: GRRRRR
God, where is her HAIRDRESSER. That woman is an embarassment to the women of Louisiana.
To: GRRRRR
Damn, no earrings either. She does have a nice manicure.
We may need to ping the Guild for this. She is a fashion disaster at this point. No wonder she is weeping.

Talk 97.1 here in STL has a morning show I really like. The one half of the show, said he was considering changing careers to get out of being associated with these liars. That would be a tragedy, that is a fairly objective show.
