  —Red Stick Rant

  Mary Landrieu has decided to represent the interests of her party on health care rather than the interests of, well, the vast majority of her employers (us Louisiana voters).

• THIRD TIME A CHARM FOR LANDRIEU?

  —Ringside Politics

  December 11, 2009….In 2003, Louisiana voters elected Kathleen Blanco as Governor, overlooking her bright, energetic challenger Bobby Jindal. After losing, Jindal was elected to Congress and remained in the public eye. During her term, Blanco suffered in the polls and failed to handle the challenges of Katrina. She was so unpopular that she chose not [...]

  Dear Senator Mary Landrieu, In the words of Ricky Ricardo, you got some splainin’ to do.

  Not happy, but certainly not surprised to see that the dims in the senate managed to get 60 votes to begin debate on their version of “healthcare reform”.
