Landrieu dismisses Jindal's silence on derogatory remarks

[Louisiana1976]

U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu said Friday that she is not dwelling on Gov. Bobby Jindal’s silence on the derogatory remarks leveled against her by some of his supporters.

Jindal initially publicly defended Landrieu, D-La., but that changed after conservative heavyweights began bashing her for money she got for Louisiana before voting on the controversial health-care bill.

The governor, a Republican, has refused to field media questions about whether it was inappropriate for conservatives to characterize Landrieu as a prostitute.

Landrieu said Friday that she wishes Jindal would be more robust in his defense of her.

“It would have been very helpful. It didn’t happen, and I’m going to move on,” she said.

1. The headline seems a bit misleading--no fan of Landrieu, but she's playing this

as best she can. Opponents would make political hay of it if she stepped up the criticism--even though Jindal really ought to speak out.

She's been put in an uncomfortable, no-win situation and is handling as best she can.

The headline suggests she's done nothing; clearly not the case.

3. If a Repug had had the same allegations levied against him/her

the poutrage would be all over the MSM with demands for apologies and resignations.

5. She is gingerly walking the line on this HC bill, trying to keep her senate seat.

Many democratic voters have moved out of the New Orleans area leaving many dems clinging to there seats, in La.
