Somehow, paraphrasing Churchill is strangely appropriate for describing the purchase of a woman from Louisiana... and in this case, the price was $300 million.
Frankly, Sen. Landrieu ain't all that hot. But then, clearly for her, it was always just a matter of price. "Louisiana Purchase?" "Cash for Cloture?" "Pride in her payoff?"
Like any other slut, money was her motivation, and she makes no bones about it.
And so it came to pass that Landrieu walked onto the Senate floor midafternoon Saturday to announce her aye vote -- and to trumpet the financial "fix" she had arranged for Louisiana. "I am not going to be defensive," she declared. "And it's not a $100 million fix. It's a $300 million fix."So, in the end, like for most democrats, it was only a matter of price. The only thing surprising is that she sold her ass for so little. I'm sure that once the sex tapes have played on CSPAN, she'll sell them as a fund raiser.
Clearly, that recent episode with "Cold Hard Cash" Jefferson was the norm... and not the exception for democrats generally, and Louisiana specifically.

Wasn't that $$$ for health care for her children (state)?

I've seen women prostitue themselves for their children.
Why a national figure sees the need to do this in the United States for health care for the citizens of her state is not all that surprising when the "right to life" is for the unborn rather than the born...
Maybe its time for more pastors and priests to stand up to end the suffering that is going on. Unfortuately, many of them are worshiping a false christ, a false god.
Landrieu may be closer to a Rahab than your stereotyped prostitute. Whatever it is, it is more than you are achieving on this blog...

Voting the wrong way for the right reasons?
ReplyDeleteOr is it voting the right way for the wrong reasons?
In the end, as others have pointed out, because of the cloture requirement Landrieu could abuse the system to bring home the pork.
The children in her state are no more worthy than the children in any other state... and since this money is limited to her state and her state alone, then her state and her state alone should bear the costs... not the US taxpayers.
Utilizing this type of justification as a defense for the indefensible is how we've wound up $12 trillion in debt because any one of those expenditures can be justified by the people who pushed them and certainly the people who received them.
I get that these kinds of legal bribes are "how business is done." But I can't support that continuing to do it the wrong way, where principle is an afterthought instead of a negotiating point... particularly as I pointed out, for such a cheap price, somehow makes this OK, no matter WHO benefits.
When I was a kid, my mom pointed out to be that prisons were full of convicts doing 20 years for knocking over convenience stores while those who scammed the big bucks usually got a slap on the wrist.
Landrieu made noises that this health care scam was wrong. Had she stuck to her guns on that, she would have gained ever-lasting respect for principles that couldn't be bought.
As it is now, she's just another DC hooker. And a damned proud hooker she is.
