Do you think Shrub actually told Mary Landrieu (sp?) 'You better say

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

what a great job I'm doing and help me out or you're not going to see squat from the National Guard for another week! And I mean it!'

Or something to that effect...

I mean, what the hell?

1. Maybe -- But It Seems To Me That They're Just All A Bunch Of...

buttsuckers. Sorry, I can't come up with a better word right now.

[Autumn Colors]

2. Or maybe

it was more like implying she might be "Wellstoned" if she didn't...

[xray s]

3. Its all one big circle jerk in DC

Dems jerkin off Reps and vice versa. Bush jerkin off Clinton and Clinton jerkin off Poppy.

All of them living in another parrellel universe from the rest of us

Fuck them all

[Spangle]

4. It's called POLITICS

She knows that if she is rude, then Bush and the Republicans are less likely to help. Or punish her in other ways.

You gota play "nice" if your a Democrat.

[Kurt Remarque]

5. screw politics at this point. we have incompetent leaders

[Maru Kitteh]

9. FUCK THAT......... when babies and grandmas are DYING.........

FUCK THAT - And FUCK HER for "playing the game".

We need REAL leaders and leadership, not her sniveling bastard ass.

[Mr_Spock]

6. Yeah, she was given ample opportunity to complain

Set-up question on ABC was asked TWICE, but she would not answer the question directly - instead she took the gobbledygook approach. She must be under a lot of pressure - I'm sure she'd like to have said more...

[babylonsister]

7. Surely; look at the mayor of Mississippi, Hayley.

Or not, but I sincerely think if Landrieu doesn't hop on that band wagon, she thinks she will be lost. She doesn't have an independent spine in her body, and she's afraid of a lot of things.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. I could give a fuck. Her behavior was DISGUSTING

I wanted to hit her. HARD.

I'm all out of patience for ANYONE who makes excuses for vacation anus boy, including big dog whom I dearly loved.
