Sen Landrieu

C&L has posted the video of This Week's George Stephanopoulis' helicopter tour with Senator Landrieu. They circle the staged photo op cite that Beazelbush set up to fake concern about his administration's pathetic failure. She cries, as we all should, when looking down on the ONE crane set up to fix the levees. The rest of the "actors," or photo op construction workers, are gone.

If you can't watch the video...

Sen Landrieu: "... Look at that, there is one crane for the whole breach. Isn't that pitiful? Now the President came here yesterday for a photo op, he came for the photo op, he got his photo-op but we are never going to get this fixed, if he does not send us help now, NOW George."

George: "The President said this couldn't have been anticipated, this kind of breach."

Sen. Landrieu: "The President, the President could have funded it. He cut it out of the budget. Is that the most pitiful sight that you have ever seen in your life? Look at that. It's so sad George, (crying) one little crane."

Later...
Sen Landrieu: (fighting back tears) "... Our infrastructure is devastated. Their lives are in shatters. The region is torn to pieces. Would the President please stop taking photo-ops and please come see what I am trying to show him?"
