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.
Quivering lips Landrieu belongs in the slammer along with no nogggin Nagin and blank stare Blanco.
Read Atlas Shrugged. Great book!
all just calm down this will all come out in a 9-11 type report..in fact we should start to get all the info together now..
What is with these Louisianna Democratic political "leaders"? Every time the camera goes on they seethe into a rage over Bush and then here comes the tears. What would be the MSM reaction if a Republican official teared up, oh yeh, Rep. Livingston (R), was from Lousianna too, hmmm. Leadership is about example, you can be incompetent and still provide a positive example, these are sorry excuses for Americans much less leaders.
Is Bobby Kennedy, Jr. still a heroin addict?
Wise Answer. :)
Eeeewww!
"Senator Landrieu, this is the Secret Office, Baton Rouge office calling.
Your interview is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 9 AM.
Now don't be late, y'hear?"
And why aren't the Mayor/Governor enforcing their own mandatory evacuation order, telling these people: either you comply with the order to leave or you will physically be extracted from your home. Oh wait...they're waiting for the Feds to do it for them.
Seems she has another problem.
I have no idea.
Is it just me, or does it seem like this woman, the Gov of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans could all pass for DemoRatUnderground members? LOL!!
Come punch me you WITCH! Cuase I'm going to lay the blame where it is damn well do, and if you even TRY...and this is absurd since I doubt you even have the competancy to land a pucnh, I'll personally take a flight and meet you at the capitol steps myself to return it in kind.
She should be locked up and tossed in jail with the key thrown away
I'm a woman, an immigrant, permanent resident alien with brown skin. And I couldn't agree with you more. If this is women in government, get them the hell out.
That order was to keep southern ladies from snooting Yankee soldiers.
And it was damned wrong, hear me? Snooting yankee soldiers was all they had left of their dignity what with their hoop skirts all bent out of shape from unaccustomed labor.
If that's the case, is it possible that the State Dems set him up for a fall on this one? I wouldn't put it past the Democrats to put the people of the state at risk to make one of their own look bad.
Don't exaggerate. They HAVE no minds to be out of. Why do you think they bought into that hope-is-on-the-way drivel?
