re: Mary Landrieu Insults Us Again

Here is the quote from NBC News.

quote:

---

I'll be very very honest with you. The South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Tmericans. It's been a difficult time for the president to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It''s not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It's more of a conservative place. So we've had to work a little bit harder on that, but you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really they do. Trust me to do the right thing for the state.

She tried to walk it back by also noting that the President's energy policies (rightfully, in her opinion) earned him a lot of ire in the state but her major quote was a political calculation, not some philosophical look at how the real world works.

And it was ill advised but probably too late to do any real damage before the runoff.
