Re: Will Mary Landrieu be shipped off to Gitmo?

Ryan— I saw Mary Landrieu’s disgusting performance on This Week, when she adopted the pose of the distraught caretaker of her “beloved people” and threatened to punch the President if he or others criticizes the New Orleans’ police’s handling of the prisoners there. During a flyover of the levee break, she pointed to the crane working away, saying tearfully, “that’s just pitiful!” and said, affecting her best one-of-the-people illiterate Louisana hick accents, “Please, Mistah President, puh-leaze, stop yo’ foto ops and just come look at what ah’m tran tah show ya.” As if that lizard is not engaged in a photo op.

Anyway, Ryan, as Wesley Pruden points out, her comment may indeed be a federal crime–threatening to assault the President. Pruden put his finger right on it when he said Landrieu “seems to think she’s cute when she’s mad”. I thought the same thing when I saw her ham-fisted performance. What a disgusting Congresscritter she is.
