Incoming on her by someone calling her a liar. A woman Senator named Mary Landrieu;


"We know that someone has to be accountable. Let me be the first to take any blame that is to be assigned."

Senator Mary "still can't get my story straight" Landrieu, Hurricane Katrina Senate floor statement, Sept 8, 2005, Congressional record Page: S9771


The following is the paragraph before and after just to show it isn't taken out of context.

"We know that FEMA was unaware that 20,000 Americans were stranded at the Convention Center without food, without water, without security, without clothes, without buses, without toilets and with no way out, and I had to stand there and listen to the news media say these people were lawless. These were mothers and fathers trying to find water for their kids. I might have been a little upset under the circumstances myself."

"We know that someone has to be accountable. Let me be the first to take any blame that is to be assigned."

"I will not allow my local officials to be made into scapegoats for others. I will not allow carping from those who were not there to diminish my Governor, my Lieutenant Governor, who happens to be my brother, who spent 3 days in a rescue boat, despite the pleas of his own wife, his sister, his mother and father not to go. He went anyway, and he lifted both the living and the dead out with his own hands."

... my brother, who spent 3 days in a rescue boat....

He must have been sleeping it off, just like Kennedy.
