Sen. Landrieu Threatens to 'Punch' President if He Keeps Hitting Local Response to Katrina
"Appearing on ABC's 'The Week' TV program this morning, Senator Landrieu still appeared to be smarting from President Bush's comments, during his national radio address, that state and local bore a fair share of blame for the slow response. On a copter tour of the area, Landrieu said that if she heard any more criticism from federal officials, particularly about the evacuation of New Orleans, she might lose control.
'If one person criticizes them or says one more thing - including the president of the United States - he will hear from me,' she said on the ABC program. 'One more word about it after this show airs and I might likely have to punch him. Literally.'
She burst into tears as she looked at a broken levee. 'The President could have funded it,' she said. 'He cut it out of the budget. Is that the most pitiful sight you have ever seen in your life? One little crane.'" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
