Sen. Mary Landrieu will buy health coverage in Louisiana and lose out on federal subsidy

[Bitsy]

I can tell you exactly how long this will last: until 6 a.m. on November 5, 2014. Give or take a few hours.
That will be when Landrieu will be looking for a job and healthcare.

[Vigilanteman]

. . . from your keyboard to God’s ears. And I hope she has a lot of company from other Senate Democrats.

[2nd Amendment]

My wife actually went to LSU with Mary Landrieu. She was a fine, moral, Christian lady at the time. Decades in the democratic party have made her a shell of a human being.

[Fresh Wind]

She is only “losing out” on the subsidy temporarily. She is free to go right back into the FEHB program at some later time. She needs the political cover right now so she can get re-elected.

I don’t know of many families that could afford an $11k premium.

"Only if Josef Stalin is counting the votes."

The chick will probably win and have a big enough cushion where Stalin will not be needed. The "cute pig" brings enough "bacon" to the table that enough registered voters of the opposite Party chooses her every time. Landrieu means "grifting out-of-Staters for your best interest" in Louisiana voodoo.

[Venturer]

Gee. You don’t think she is doing this for political purposes do you??

[fungoking]

Mary is running scared.

Mary is circling around the bowl.

[TomGuy]

Washington corrupts.

Nearly 536 elected who serve in Washington are infected.

For many, it becomes a terminal, chronic condition. For a few, they manage to escape by seeking other employment outside the beltway.

[clintonh8r]

Will she have a viable GOP opponent?

[dforest]

Too little too late. She needs to be forced to buy it by being kicked out of office.

[The Cajun]

Internal polling numbers must be down the dumper.

[duckman]

I think she was either the last senator or next to the last senator to be incentive-ized by zero to vote for O-care.

[sand88]

Only if Josef Stalin is counting the votes.

Her corrupt, tax hungry brother is mayor of New Orleans. Orleans Parish is always the last to report voting results -- the reason is obvious.

Our sissy, EINO governor Jindal will never say a bad thing about Landrieu.

It will take much much more than wishful thinking to defeat this evil, corrupt woman.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Too bad. She deserves to be a civilian.

[sand88]

EINO = RINO

[sand88]

. She deserves to be a civilian.

She should be in prison with the rest of the Marxists in D.C.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

No argument here. We’ll be in their camps long before they’re in prison, I suspect.

[murron]

And he will.

[murron]

My husband calls her “Hillary Landrieu.” He says Mary is too pretty a name for her.
