As I said the other day, can you imagine what would have happened if a Republican said something like this?
Sen. Mary Landrieu: I’ll Still Punch Bush
Sen. Mary Landrieu refused on Friday to withdraw or apologize for her threat to punch President Bush if he criticized Louisiana officials – despite Bush’s magnanimous speech Thursday night and a federal downpayment of more than $60 billion dollars to rebuild her state.“I do not take it back, I don’t apologize for it. I said I would punch anybody, including the president,” she told the Chicago Tribune.
“Though threatening the president is a crime,” the Tribune noted – “the Secret Service took it as a joke and the White House brushed off her remarks.”
Standing in the Capitol, however, Landrieu made it clear she wasn’t joking.
