"Louisiana's Looters"

Landrieu and Vitter?

This chick has got to go. Using Katrina as an excuse to demand pork for every imaginable project is disgusting.

Giving money to Louisiana politicians is absurd. They are all corrupt, and that was well-known long before the hurricane. It's a tradition that has existed for generations.

" South Louisiana is the anchor of America's Energy Coast, securing more than three-quarters of U.S. offshore oil and gas production -- a greater share of our nation's energy supply than even the kingdom of Saudi Arabia accounts for. The ports of south Louisiana, including New Orleans, are America's gateway to the world, handling more than 20 percent of U.S. imports and exports each day, including more than 70 percent of all grains as they move from farms across the nation to markets overseas. And 40 percent of the seafood consumed by Americans each year comes through coastal Louisiana."

I doubt more than 10% of that $250 billion is required to keep that going.
