Comments from BayouBuzz readers

What a dirty little pool of hissing, sniping vipers. As if spitting out all that sexist, partisan poison serves any useful purpose. Of course it’s not an issue whether or not a woman takes her husband’s name. What really seems to eat away at some people is that Senator Landrieu has done such an admirable job representing Louisiana and keeping her electorate informed – about a disaster host communities public hearing, in this case. Hardly an excuse for the vicious histrionics on display here.

Why are some of you so hung up on our Senator's name? Here in the 21st century, there are a lot of people who never take a new name after getting married. To hear most of you, the name "Landrieu" is anything but a political benefit in this state, anyway. Does it make you feel any better to know that the wife of the Republican governor of California still officially uses her "maiden" name. See http://www.firstlady.ca.gov/. Personally, I'm more concerned about whether our elected officials are showing up in the pages of Hustler than in the names they go by. But most of all I'm concerned about what they do for our state. From what I can see, Mary has been of far more value to Louisiana than either the current state treasurer of the junior senator.

LANDRIEU: LOOK FOR HER DIRTY POOL (again) The general election, potentially between incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu and Republican State Treasurer John Kennedy, will feature the winners of the first political primaries that Louisiana voters have experienced since the mid-1970s…… ]CRAWFISH NOTE: The (democrat of course) woman who refuses to use her married name because its more politically favorable to use her father’s is in for a tough re-election to her U.S. Senate seat. She needed lots of lunch time buses running the welfare sheep to the democrat voting pasture with some freebies in hand to pull out a win last time. Disgusting. She will do that and more. Look for the dirty pool from the experts (democrats, also known as secular socialists). A big spender, fake Catholic and liberal clone (this also fits Pelosi, Kerry and Teddy)… she needs to go home. With lots less pet sheep in Orleans Parish, the fraud squad needs doubling. Look for her to run on Katrina monies and the water bill plus fear (of course). Which La. senator was against those bills? (none). A very short list with all the huge festering problems lacking congressional solutions (again). The liberal pandering papers will be slanted toward her and the gimme groups will be passin out sample completed ballots at the very least. The dirt diggers will be hired. of course, the devil Republican strawman will again be paraded out… despite the recent big wins by Repubs Vitter and Jindal. This is one Kennedy I want to win! ===== over 900 posts .... see theconservativecrawfish based in Vidalia, LA.

Well, dears, we find it interesting to see what these other community leaders have to say. We hope that Mrs. Snelllings will see what New Orleans citizens have become over the years and ask who is responsible. Need we say more, dears.

Could she be running for re-election? Looks like she is going to try to spend a little time down here with us po folks instead of her nice residence in Virginia. I guess we are to think that she is working hard for all us dumb coon asses in south Louisiana?
