Look, I don't like Landrieu. She's DLC and she's way too conservative for me. And I was at first right with Anderson Cooper for laying into her yesterday for her "thanks to President (sic) Bush" shit.

Then I realized, she really IS doing what she believes is the best. She knew that goods and services were being withheld, and she also knows just how belligerant and murderously vindictive Bush is. She didn't have the LUXURY of lambasting or criticizing him -- not if she wanted to try to save lives.

We can reasonably argue whether her strategy is right or even valid, but you gotta admit, that her "If I make him mad, he'll make it worse for us" is 100% valid. AND she knew as we all do, LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I'd have done the same damn thing. You might have too.
