Behold: Mary Landrieu in full meltdown
Hot Air.com ^ | December 3, 2014 | Guy Benson

t’s almost the end of the line for the Mary Express, and she knows it. First, she tripled down on her ‘sexism and racism’ smear against an electorate that has entrusted her (a woman!) with 18 years in the US Senate, and that handed Gov. Bobby Jindal (whose skin is brown!) a re-election victory so comprehensive that he carried every single parish in the state. Then, she offered no comment after top aides and supporters confirmed Republicans’ principal charge against her, and exhorted partisan Democrats to vote illegally. Next, she blundered through her final debate, assailing her Republican opponent for allegedly collecting an improper pittance for his medical treatment of under-served patients (a calling card of his career as a doctor), which helpfully teed up a clean hit on her unethical use of taxpayer money to fund dozens of private jet flights. Now she’s lashing out at her own party, accusing them of abandoning her — a gripe that is not inaccurate, and a tactical decision that is not unjustified:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) lobbed a barb at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Tuesday, saying they effectively abandoned her after the Nov. 4 midterm election. “I am extremely disappointed in the Democratic Senatorial [Campaign] Committee. I’ve said that. You know, they just walked away from this race,” Landrieu said in response to a Washington Post question about Democratic groups mainly staying on the sidelines during the runoff. She made her remarks after a rally here just steps from City Hall…A DSCC spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

No comment? That’s cold, bro. Yesterday we highlighted a Landrieu campaign radio ad aimed primarily at black voters that asserts that the Birther-dominated Republican Party “will impeach” President Obama if Bill Cassidy beats Landrieu. They might as well have added, ‘because the Constitution dictates that impeachments of black presidents become mandatory when the opposing party controls 54, not 53, Senate seats.’ The spot asserts that Cassidy has shown Obama “so much disrespect.” What specifically do you mean by that, Senator Landrieu, since you personally approved the ad?

ummm MT @daveweigel: Landrieu, asked what Cassidy does to “disrespect the president,” says he calls him “by his last name” instead of title.

Cassidy sometimes calls President Obama, “Obama”? Disrespect, bordering on hate speech. One wonders what sort of commercial Landrieu would’ve run if Cassidy had mused aloud about assaulting the president:

President Bush faced increasingly bitter complaints today from local and state officials in the battered Gulf Coast region as he struggled to exert control over a disaster that almost surely claimed thousands of lives. Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, a Democrat, said today that she was so angry about federal failures and second-guessing that if she heard any more criticism of local efforts, even from the president, she might “punch” him.

Someone arrest this dangerous woman who disrespected Our President by threatening physical violence! I’ll leave you with a new ad from the Black Conservatives Fund, which condenses the pro-voter fraud harangue they caught on tape into a 3o second television spot:

The elder Don Cravins’ disgraceful comments are certainly worth highlighting, but I suspect the extraordinary affirmation from Landrieu chief of staff Don Cravins, Jr. that she’ll continue supporting Obama 97 percent of the time if re-elected might be the more impactful message to broadcast in the home stretch of this campaign.

"Landrieu, asked what Cassidy does to “disrespect the president,” says he calls him “by his last name” instead of title."

He deserves to be called "that scumbag", Cassidy should be commended for his politeness.

She needs to spend the rest of her campaign money on the big final push to get her over the top.

JMHO

The news is all good here. Mary Landrieu doesn’t act like a confident candidate.

I notice the “Where was Bill during Katrina” thing went away pretty quickly. lol

Mayor Nagin was talking to Gov. Kathleen Blanco, and Gov. Blanco was talking to Mary, and Mary was talking to Serpent Head (James Carville), and ...... and who was Carville talking to, to advise Blanco and Landrieu how to screw up disaster handling so that Bush and FEMA were set up for a spit-bath from Slick's LSM shower-buddies?

Slick was "the man behind the curtain", engineering a FAIL that he knew, because of the LieStreamMedia, would land on George W. Bush's desk, and make straight the way of the Hildebeast in 2007-8 when she ran for the White Hut.

The good people of Louisiana had better not take this for granted. Get out and vote!

That is exactly where the Landrieu campaign and the MSM is at.

One of the things they rely on is that which Clinton, during impeachment, also relied on.

If Ken Starr were to have charged Clinton with federal felonies in office, the trial would have been conducted in the District of Columbia, the site of the malfeasance.

That's why the Klintonx were laughing their asses off as Slick tap-danced his way through Africa on his notorious (Joe Wilson-advanced) "apology" tour. They had insurance out the wazoo that Slick would never be convicted for anything, no matter how blatant or notorious, because of racist black juries in DC. Think of that old Edwin Edwards defi, that "they'll never get me unless they catch me with a dead woman, or a live boy."

Somehow that will have to be broken down, so that trials of people like Red Nancy Pelosi, Slick, Beast, and Obozo can be moved to, say, Idaho and northern Michigan.

Excellent Points but the Democrats own something......

The Obamacare rub is on the skin now.

You have Schumer and Harkin both backing away from it as insurance is sky-rocketing on EVERYBODY!

You have Charlie Rangel demanding higher gas tax....

The democrats are imploding as their base is now being forced into taxation by their own party.
