Landrieu smacks down the "wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican party."
"In light of the rantings that went on for the last 30 minutes here in the chamber by two colleagues from the other side, I'd like to state for the record that America is not tired of fighting terrorism. America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican party that has sent six and a half billion dollars a month to Iraq when the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. That led this country to attack Saddam Hussein when we were attacked by Osama bin Laden. Who captured a man that did not attack the country and let loose a man that did. Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most. And Americans are most certainly tired of leadership that despite documenting mistakes after mistake after mistake after mistake, even of their own party admitting mistakes, never admit they ever do anything wrong. That's the kind of leadership Americans are tired of. I didn't come to the Senate to have partisan rantings on the floor, but I most certainly am not gonna sit here as a Democrat and let the Republican leadership come to the floor and talk about Democrats are not making us safe. They're the ones are in charge and Osama bin Laden is still at loose."via Atrios
