Mary Landrieu, Democratic knucklehead

Mary Landrieu, cute blonde bimbette, who also works part-time as the Democratic senator from Louisiana, being interviewed by Chris Wallace of Faux News : (via Daily Howler).

WALLACE: OK, thank you. But you're the one who's done the finger- pointing. You were the one who, on the Senate floor, talked about the federal response being “incompetent and insulting” to the people of Louisiana. You were the one—if I might—and, I want to ask you, also, because you've also pointed the finger at the Bush administration for failing to spend enough on flood control.
