‘Hail Mary’ Landrieu
There’s simply no other way to call the desperate play of Mary Landrieu defending her long hold on the championship in a political playoff down in Louisiana, where it appears that the serving senator’s re-election prospects are headed the same direction as the 4-5 New Orleans Saints playoff possibilities. When QB Mary got her hands on that hot political football yesterday, her first offensive play was as truly offensive as any offense can be. Ailing Mary resurrected a long-dead play she had long ago introduced as a sop to her racist, sexist constituents, and threw a true Hail Mary at a Capitol press conference, where she desperately urged her fellow Democrat senators to hastily enact legislation approving construction of the long Reid-lined Keystone Pipeline. It was a flagrant and flailing bid to save her collapsing career.
That such legislation has been long stymied by greedy Democrats, hungry for handouts from environmentalist Tom Steyer, himself a living monument to capitalist/environmentalist hypocrisy, renders Mary’s Hail Mary an act of desperation dripping with Democrat duplicity. Overnight, a greedy capitalistic Koch brothers project that was going to destroy a wide swath of the environment, a dagger of developmental disaster driven through the heart of America, is transformed by the Democrats into “Gee, what a great idea!”
Good grief! Even low-info Dem voters should be able to see the huge hypocrisy in that little deceptive sidestep.
Last week the Democrats were humiliated by the thinking portion of the American electorate, who performed their civic duty and tossed a very deserving bunch of them off the field. Now we see one of those losers trying to come back out of the locker room, disguised as a cheer-leader for a play her team publicly disdained up until Tuesday, when the big game was played and they lost equally big time. Sorry, Mary, but in your latest frantic cynical cheer-leading we can see under that shrinking political skirt you’ve worn far too long:
And it ain’t a pretty sight, girl….

And the RNC should running ads saying the House already passed 4 bills approving the pipeline but Miss Mary and her fellow Dems in the Senate refused to bring them forward until it politically nessessary. And question the people of La. Is they really want their Senator to hold up economic growth until it serves them politically.
If this is what it takes to get the pipeline approved, then let’s get it done. Let her claim credit for it – it just makes her look silly. Actually, all she is doing is highlighting how obstructive the government can be. And is.
I heard a scenario that fits this little desperation move. Dingy Harry schedules the Keystone Pipeline for a vote. The Bayou Miracle happens and it passes. The bill is sent to Øbola for signature, he holds onto it until the run-off election is held, then, regardless of the results, he vetoes the pipeline. I can’t take credit for this, heard it on Rush’s show today.
I have a feeling he’s not far from the way this will play out.
It’s pretty bad when the liberal WashPo is claiming that this is a win for the GOP and it is an *obvious* desperation move by Mary L.
Yeah, I’m hopeful that the voter base in Louisiana isn’t as stupid that Ms. Landrieu pretends that they are.
Is she trying to wag Jonathan Gruber’s dog?
NO Saints are in 1st place in the sad sack NFC South & pretty decent shape for making the playoffs. Mary Landrieu on the other hand is gong to need a miracle & help of a few thousand dead people to overtake Cassidy.
