Mary Landrieu: I'll Punch Bush, 'Literally'

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.

What is with these Louisianna Democratic political "leaders"? Every time the camera goes on they seethe into a rage over Bush and then here comes the tears. What would be the MSM reaction if a Republican official teared up, oh yeh, Rep. Livingston (R), was from Lousianna too, hmmm. Leadership is about example, you can be incompetent and still provide a positive example, these are sorry excuses for Americans much less leaders.

You forgot to mention that Governor "Bimbo" Blanco told the NO police to arrest looters and throw them in jail when there were no available jail cells, no method of transport, and no backup for cops.

That had to be a morale killer when the Mayor made a statement agreeing with her!

Denny should have suggested that the city be turned into a nuclear waste dump.

I know the people in Nevada would like that. :-)

"National Guard Hillicopter men are saying they get to some houses to rescue the people and THEY REFUSE TO LEAVE."

And why aren't the Mayor/Governor enforcing their own mandatory evacuation order, telling these people: either you comply with the order to leave or you will physically be extracted from your home. Oh wait...they're waiting for the Feds to do it for them.

I'm a woman, an immigrant, permanent resident alien with brown skin. And I couldn't agree with you more. If this is women in government, get them the hell out.

That order was to keep southern ladies from snooting Yankee soldiers.

And it was damned wrong, hear me? Snooting yankee soldiers was all they had left of their dignity what with their hoop skirts all bent out of shape from unaccustomed labor.

If that's the case, is it possible that the State Dems set him up for a fall on this one? I wouldn't put it past the Democrats to put the people of the state at risk to make one of their own look bad.

Don't exaggerate. They HAVE no minds to be out of. Why do you think they bought into that hope-is-on-the-way drivel?
