The same ones who were too busy looting to be bothered with keeping civil order?

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.
That's it. Put this worthless beotch in jail.
Shut up, slut.
She might do better to punch governor of her state.
A Don't-blame-me Crybaby. Not exactly Churchill.
Sounds like a good job for the Secret Service. Of course the MSM would have afield day if they actually did arrest or even detain her.
Yes. If possible, jail the skank. We don't need this crap right now.
How many people could your photo-op helicopter have moved to safety, Mary...5-10, 20...?
A national leader, senator, crying on TV, will reinforce the perception that a female isn't up to the top spot..running the country...and Blanco's total melt-down this week ads to that..Sorry Hillary...
Don't go - Bush gets blasted. Goes - Bush gets Blasted.
Don't step in - Bush failed to act. Does - He's grabbing power.
Typical lib pap for the weak minded in America.
The same ones who were too busy looting to be bothered with keeping civil order?
Now she is threatening the President. FBI take note!
She sounds like the rest of her constituents, guess they learned well right from the top.
Homeland security is saying that they have the responsibility
to feed clothe educate and house thousands to a million people without disrupting the lives of others. Tooo late.
I cant believe the lengths the MSM and their co-conspirators have gone in the blame game..
I think there is plenty of room for her in the New Orleans jailhouse.
She also said last night on Fox News that they would rebuild, because the spirit of the people of New Orleans was "TITANIC!" Also, that it was a fluid situation.
Bush should let her punch him. Great photo op.
Then throw her butt in jail.
Honest analysis of what we an learn from Katrina is very important. However, political yakking and finger-pointing are counter-productive, and any politician who attempts to take political advantage of this should be thrown out of office fast.
The liberal beotch is full of shiznit. She ought to be looking in the mirror if she needs somebody to punch.
These democrats are all out of their minds. (I know,.... so what else is new?)
Correct me if I am wrong, but this wasn't exactly a cut- it was a reduction in the amount that was to be spent in 2006!
I think everyone is pretty well tired of the juvenile antics of the Democrats.
Bobby Kennedy started it with an editorial on August 29.
Gee. You think he wrote it in advance?
Landrieu is Senator of the state. Do you think she should have told the Mayor and the Governor to evacuate the people sooner.
Oh, Mary, Mary...you are JUST as culpable as the police who walked off the job, joined the looters, and just as culpable as the Mayor who should have been in the streets with a police presence and walking the superdome.
The backlash against this type of crass, ugly partisanship is just starting.
Another Lib doing what Libs do best.
Landrieu is an ankle-biter and has crossed a line.
I think this is illegal.
Well if your police weren't 'girly girls' then they might stand a chance. They seem to take after you, gutless!
The difference between 9/11 and Katerina is that the first responders in 9/11 died for a cause, what did your 'girly girls' police do: QUIT AND RUN!
Says alot doesn't it?
Where is that Thorazine when you need it?
Are there ANY grown-ups in LA political power??
Could it be there are things these officials don't want the Feds discovering if they start crawling around their backyard?
Louisiana is one of the worst run states in the union, they have squandered federal funds, and they try to lay this at the feet of the federal government.
I just heard this morning that in a city surrounded on 3 sides the city only had 3 boats and 2 of them weren't working!!!!!
She knows that the real blame lands at the feet of the state and local authorities, which are all corrupt democrats, and she is trying to nip that blame in the bud before it starts. The republicans are dumb enough to fall for it. Republican leaders should be out right now countering all the blame by blaming the state and local democrats. If the MSM and the democrats are blaming republicans, it is fair game to go after the local democrats and that is where the blame should go anyway.
What a loser!! She was there with Bush kissing him after he toured the disaster area with A-hole Nagin, Incompetent Blanco. I saw crocodile tears from Landrieu before kissing Bush- she's such a Judas!
Landrieu threatened to punch the President of the United States of America?
And she is defending the New Orleans police? The same police who either didn't show up or literally walked off the job?
OMG
This isn't the same NOPD that has been routinely investigated for corruption, is it?
Looks like the guilt of all the LA officials is really starting to get to all of them. Must be getting pretty difficult for them to sleep at night.
Calling her a slut and a bitch and whatever is disgusting.
Call her what she is. A worthless public servant who is incompetent, making politics out of this, sniveling, back stabbing and whatever.
Those terms,,slut, bitch,,do not belong here. They diminish us.
She is incompetnent, craven, sly, cunning, self serving,,,
Ah yes, the good Senator ... another bag of used food emoting in order to defend the indefensible.
Carl....did you watch Bush tour LA Friday...if you did, you noticed that Mary was always in the background, never center stage...at first I didn't realize who that blonde was tagging along...she felt slighted IMHO..
They might go even further. The scum bags.
Everybody who should be staying calm and focused down there seems to be coming unhinged instead. Not good.
Bush Slashed the Tires on These Buses so the Mayor of New Orleans Couldn't Use Them to Evacuate Black People

The lunatic left speaks again. Is she Howard Dean's sister? The Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana were unprepared. They failed to evacuate the city.
I certainly hope that the people of the state of Lousiana unelect her.
they had plenty of money to fix the levees with... but they were to busy building casinos and buying jet planes for the levee board to vacation in to use it for the levees.
And by the way, one of the levees that broke was brand new. And any levee they built would have only been rated for a cat 3 storm not a 5.
Landreiu burst into tears? Another estrogen queen! God Help Louisiana. (Through His humble servant, George Bush)
I detest Mary
But I think your post is outrageous.
Who says Hillary is a female, inquiring minds what to know
This constant threatening of the president coming from the left during this adminstration is so unprecedented and out of control, these people need to start being charged with crimes or when does it end? Level headed people know the answer to that question.
Please tell me that most people can see through this for what it is. Please!
This lame excuse for a human being needs to ponder the depths of the meaning of "personal character". As she has none it will be an enlightening experience. Yet perhaps she is content to sling pathetic, self-indulgent sound bites over the bodies of the rotting dead in NOLA.
I'll tell you one thing: Seeing these women act like, well, little women is going to keep anyone with a lick of sense from voting for Hillary.
