Mary Landrieu provides timely words of comfort for Gulf Coast residents (idiot alert)

However, one moderate Democrat, Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, defended offshore drilling:

``We must continue to drill. Should we have our oil coming 100 percent from Saudi Arabia or Venezuela or Honduras or West Africa? We have to take responsibility to drill where we can drill safely. Out away from our shores is as safe as we can be. We obviously have to improve our technology, and that we will. Retreat, we won't.''

Just what your constituents wanted to hear, Landrieu, you tool.

4. She's always been an oil-company shill. So's Vitter

always been gung-ho for offshore drilling.

"Having accepted more than $530,000 from the oil and gas industry, Landrieu routinely votes in favor of oil company profits. In 2003, 2005, and 2007, Sen. Landrieu voted to give billions in tax breaks and subsidies to the oil industry in spite of that industry�s record making profits. (Roll Call #456, H.R. 6, November 21, 2003; Roll Call #332, S. 2020 Amendment 2609, November 17, 2005; Roll Call #425, H.R. 6, December 13, 2007."

Apparently you learned nothing when the OIl industry bastards slammed the door in your face when you asked them to clean up damage left after katrina.
