THE REAL RUNOFF
Posted on 11/09/2014 8:13:25 AM PST by John Semmens
Incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) got off to a bad start in her desperate bid to hold onto her seat. In an attempt to characterize her Republican opponent Bill Cassidy as “unreliable” and “undependable,” Landrieu demanded to know what he had done to help the state recover from 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.
Cassidy, an MD, responded that he had been working to provide medical aid to refugees of the storm. With help from friends and neighbors he and his physicians’ group set up an emergency treatment center in an abandoned K-Mart.
Landrieu shruugged this off as “small potatoes. While my opponent was treating a handful of individual victims I was addressing the bigger problem—the incompetence of the Bush Administration. I might not have directly saved anyone’s life at that time, but I helped lay the groundwork for Democrats to take control of both Houses of Congress in the 2006 elections. Without this majority, President Obama’s Affordable Care Act would never have passed in 2010.”
Joel DiGrado, Cassidy for Senate campaign manager, thanked Landrieu “for clarifying the distinction between the two candidates. It could hardly be more clear that Bill Cassidy is a man of action and a person with a heart. He saw a need and took steps to meet it. In contrast, Landrieu touts her political hectoring of former President Bush and her role in paving the way for Obamacare. It will now be up to voters to decide which of these approaches to problem solving they’d like to see from their state’s Senator.”

Mary Landrieu’s chances of winning the runoff are swirling the bowl. As they should be.
Landrieu bragged that without her help, Obama’s Affordable Care Act would never have passed by a straight Democrat party-line vote in 2010.
She asserted in her own defense: “My taking $4.3 billion for my vote was of enormous help-—b/c it laundered millions of tax dollars into the coffers of Democrats to buy their Obamacare votes, too.”
Good one! :-)
Where’s the satire?
;)
Mary put an apple in her mouth and gave a speech , mumble mumble mumble
“Where’s the satire?”
Was wondering the same thing.
It’s difficult to take Landrieu seriously when one expects Kermit the Frog to pop up on the screen during her interviews.
Nice post John. I can actually see her saying that.
WHY do they NOT point to WHO were ruling at New Orleans and Baton Rouge at that time, hmmm???
She’s actually a cross breed of Kermit and Hillary.
I managed to unglue my lips from Obama's ***hole
to be in Louisisana. That's why my mouth looks so funny."
