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.
And dismiss her are an emotional WOMAN, FGS.
Here ya go. I found myself asking the same question yesterday.
It is illegal to threaten the president with physical violence.
At least the threat is on record.
Thank you, and very well said.
Is it just me, or does there seem to be a recurring theme here?
Joking.
:7)
Seriously, you're right on the money!
This woman is an embarrassment to her office.
Moon Landrieu is probably rolling over in his grave as we speak.
It's not just you; all of the LA officials seem to be mentally unstable.

****ANYONE CATCH THIS, BREAKING PER AP****
CONTRATORS WERE SHOT BY THE NO PD DEPT.? THE INFO. IS COMING IN ON ALL NEWS STATIONS. THEY LET THEIR PEOPLE LOOT THE CITY AND NOW SHOT THE ONES THERE TO HELP. CRAZY.
...you know, a "Party" type gal.
I dunno, regardless of anything else, she's cute?
These Dem hacks are seeing their political fiefdom disappear before their eyes. I hope and pray good people everywhere will take some refugees and show them what living in America is all about, rather than being kept on the Democrat plantation and subsisting on welfare. This would be the best possible outcome of this terrible time.
And now a NOPD cop has shot and killed an ACOE officer. Wonder if shes ready to critisize yet.
"Is it just me, or does there seem to be a recurring theme here?"
I think the problem for all of these pols is that their little vote grubbing, welfare pandering empires have just been exposed to the rest of the country and that's why they're crying in their Barq's. (LA root beer)
The graft and corruption in New Orleans goes so far back my great grandfather recounted stories about pay offs to judges and local pols!
D-OH!!
I never knew that!
^_^
Time for the Democrats to blame the Republicans for their incompetence. Mary, your State government sucks, and the Landrieus are responsible. Let me introduce you to the STFU Man.
That's the truth. The performance of both of these women this past week has been pathetic. Crying on national television undermines women in government.
They do a fine job of that all by themselves. Problem is, the people who vote for them are adolescent idiots themselves.
And John Breaux; it is apparent these dem louisiana pols see political office as nothing but their meal ticket; doing their job is beyond their capability.
