She also opposed legislation drafted by Senator Durbin that would have allowed judges to modify mortgage terms for people going through bankruptcy. This was a boon to the same banks that those poor American's tax dollars bailed out. Her opposition forced Democrats to re-tool the bill and gut it.
She had the audacity to frame her opposition to the bill as being out of concern for "community" banks. She deserves the "Community" Doorknob award for that prevarication.
In just the first 5 months of this Congress, Landrieu has already played a crucial role in blocking bankruptcy reform, destroying our hopes of partially funding the budget through taxes on money that would be passed on to undeserving scions of rich people and, now, in helping the insurance industry pick off one more Democrat from supporting the public plan option. On what critical piece of legislation will she sell out and join the Republicans next?
Yes, Landrieu. A truly disgusting politician who ought to be forced out of the Democratic Party. Remember the name, remember the treachery. She ought to be ousted from the Senate and dropped off at the Mustang Ranch. Maybe she could meet up with and talk post-political careers with Jesse Ventura.
