If FEMA pays off in a lump sum, she'll have plenty of money for her campaign. :)

I have to admit that the idea of Mitch Landrieu leaving the Lt. Gov. office is not a good idea right now. For those not familiar with Louisiana politics, the Louisiana Lt. Governor is in fact the head of tourism for the State. And, to be honest, Mitch Landrieu is very good at promoting tourism in the state. I don't agree with him politically. But, this is not a political position. This is a sales position. And he is a great salesman. If you listen to him promote the state in the wake of the hurricanes, you have to be impressed. He is a true believer in LA and what she has to offer tourists. For that reason, losing him at this point when we are trying to rebuild our tourist base and fight the image that so many State legislatures and the Governor have shown to the rest of the US, would be very bad for the State.

However, losing his sister would be wonderful. Mary Landrieu has been a black eye on this State from the day she stole her first Senate election to today.

For those who don't remember, she amazingly found just enough dead voters in Orleans Parish to throw her over the top in her election bid against Woody Jenkins.

I guess Mitch won't be asking for Mary's help on the campaign trail!! LOL

[fieldmarshaldj]

That was former Mayor Marc Morial who "found" those dead voters. I think ole Mitchy wants to become Mayor so he can resume the practice of raising the dead on election day for sis. (BTW, that was the one positive thing Nagin did, he actually allowed for clean voting, probably the first time that had happened in NOLA in a long time).

Probably all those phantom cops decided not to vote for her again. Its ashamed that all those buses were lost in the 9th ward. The could have been used to ferry voters to the polls.

Sometimes you have to kill the wounded...shoot Mitch in the hope that the Landrieus will eventually get off the public tit and die...they are the New Orleans equivalent of the f**king Kennedy family....fire them or kill before they breed again. Many years ago I voted for Jack Kennedy for Pres and Moon for Mayor...my bad...

... fire them or kill before they breed again. A day late and a dollar short ... Sen. Petunia Pig apparently has adopted children ...
