Mary Landrieu"},"content":{"rendered":"<section>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve always liked Mary Landrieu, I must confess. I\u2019ve thought she\u2019s cute. She\u2019s still got baby fat on her. She\u2019s cute, she\u2019s bubbly, and she\u2019s vivacious. I\u2019ve always been partial to women named Mary anyway, and she\u2019s voted a couple of times, three times with us. She is a swing vote in the Senate. She does swing, not with a lot of fanfare, but she does veer away from the kooks in that party\u2019s leadership now and then. So I have to confess that I\u2019m disappointed here. I know that she\u2019s in the midst of a lot of stress, and I know that she\u2019s feeling a lot of pressure, and I\u2019m guessing that the Democratic leadership has gone to her and said, &#8220;We need you to cut loose and say what we want you to say here because we\u2019ve got a political opportunity that doesn\u2019t come along very often. We\u2019ve got a great chance to sink Bush here, and since you\u2019re from Louisiana where this happened, we think you\u2019d be a good one to carry the water.&#8221; I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s the case. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. So she went to the floor of the Senate today and this is what she said.<\/line><BR\/> LANDRIEU: We know the president said quote, &#8220;I don\u2019t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.&#8221; Everybody anticipated the breach of the levees, Mr. President, including computer stimulations in which this administration participated. Even the clay figurine Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live anticipated the breach. His creator, a friend of mine, has used him in public service announcements for over two years, public service announcements, saying this will be the effect if this happened. How can it be that Mr. Bill was better informed that Mr. Bush?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: All right, now, this is painful for me to do, ladies and gentlemen. But once again, a person from the state of Louisiana who has had countless years and opportunities to do something about this, apparently cannot show us the legislation she has presented to prepare these levees for category five. Remember, these levees were built for category three. Americans are pouring billions of dollars into her state. No thanks to her, by the way. And a thank-you would be nice, but we\u2019re not going to get a thank-you in this period, folks, we\u2019re not going to get gratitude because the plan is to blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, everything is going wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. So in the middle of everything going wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, in the middle of all kinds of incompetence, how can you express gratitude? But Mary, senator, question for you. Where the hell were you, and where the hell was your daddy, Moon Landrieu, and where was your little brother? They\u2019ve all run that state, and they\u2019ve run that city for who knows how long. I want to see the bill, Senator Landrieu, in which you got Senator Daschle and your colleagues to vote for billions of dollars to build a levee system which would stand to cat five. I want to see the legislation that you proposed. You\u2019ve been there since the Clinton administration. I\u2019m not talking about money for the levee system. I\u2019m talking about money to build a cat five levee system. Senator Landrieu, Louisiana is number one in Army Corps of Engineer funding. The Army Corps of Engineers gets more money to spend in Louisiana than any other state in this country. Where is the cat five levee system? <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>It is time to investigate your family, Senator Landrieu. It\u2019s time to investigate your little brother, and your Daddy Moon and everybody else, your whole party, it\u2019s time to investigate Louisiana to find out why all the money that was sent down there somehow didn\u2019t reach the levees. Senator Reid, I think you need to realize that Senator Landrieu is doing more to turn off the American people than anyone, and that\u2019s saying something. She used to angelic compared to the rest of you, but with this, when this gets out, she\u2019s doing more to turn off the American people who are giving everything. They\u2019re opening their homes. They are sending dollars. They are sending supplies, they have made it a focus to help out in these last seven or eight days, and to send Senator Landrieu out, and once again try to pass the buck and make this a political thing at President Bush, is not serving your cause. The other day on Stephanopoulos, she was crying and threatening to &#8220;punch out&#8221; the president. I guess that didn\u2019t get enough attention. I guess that didn\u2019t get enough reverberation, and so they had to send her out to say this today, that she\u2019s in over her head on this, perhaps too emotionally impacted by it. But Senator Landrieu, you perhaps should have read your own house organ today before you went onto the floor of the Senate. Stand by and I will read to you relevant facts from a Washington Post story today, that had you known, you would not have gone to the floor of the Senate and made such a fool of yourself.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/> RUSH: How can it be that you, as the senator from that state, didn\u2019t do a damn thing about it if everybody knew? Where was your daddy? Where was your little brother? Where\u2019s the legislation you introduced to Tom Daschle when he was the majority leader to get this done? Everybody says, &#8220;Yep, they\u2019ll handle a cat 3, but nothing higher, certainly not a cat 5.&#8221; Where was the legislation to fix these and move them up to a cat 5? We need to investigate Louisiana, Mary Landrieu\u2019s family, and the Democratic Party down there. From the Washington Post today, here\u2019s the headline: &#8220;Money Flowed to Questionable Projects &#8212; Louisiana leads in Army Corps spending, but millions had nothing to do with the floods. Before Hurricane Katrina breached a levee on the New Orleans Industrial Canal, the Army Corps of Engineers had already launched a $748 million construction project at that very location. But the project had nothing to do with flood control. The Corps was building a huge new lock for the canal, an effort to accommodate steadily increasing barge traffic. Except that barge traffic on the canal has been steadily decreasing. In Katrina\u2019s wake, Louisiana politicians and other critics have complained about paltry funding for the Army Corps in general and Louisiana projects in particular. But over the five years of President Bush\u2019s administration, Louisiana has received far more money for Corps civil works projects than any other state, about $1.9 billion; California was a distant second with less than $1.4 billion, even though its population is more than seven times as large. Much of that Louisiana money was spent to try to keep low-lying New Orleans dry. But hundreds of millions of dollars have gone to unrelated water projects demanded by the state\u2019s congressional delegation and approved by the Corps, often after economic analyses that turned out to be inaccurate. Despite a series of independent investigations criticizing Army Corps construction projects as wasteful pork-barrel spending, Louisiana\u2019s representatives have kept bringing home the bacon. For example, after a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations,&#8221; so that the money would get spent.<\/line><BR\/>Can I read this to you again so you understand this? Mary Landrieu cooked the books. &#8220;After a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations.&#8221; In other words: <emphasize>Cook the books so that the cost-benefit analysis works, because we want the money.<\/emphasize><\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8220;The Corps also spends tens of millions of dollars a year dredging little-used waterways such as the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, the Atchafalaya River and the Red River &#8212; now known as the J. Bennett Johnston Waterway, in honor of the project\u2019s congressional godfather &#8212; for barge traffic that is less than forecast.&#8221; Not only over the five years of President Bush\u2019s administration has Louisiana received far more money for the Corps of Engineers civil projects than any other state, 1.9 billion, &#8220;overall the Bush administration\u2019s funding requests for the key New Orleans flood control projects for the past five years were higher than the Clinton administration\u2019s for its past five years. Lieutenant General Carl Strock, the chief of the Corps, has said that in any event, more money would not have prevented the drowning of the city, since its levees were designed to protect against a Category 3 storm, and the levees that failed were already completed projects. Strock has also said that the marsh-restoration project would not have done much to diminish Katrina\u2019s storm surge, which passed east of the coastal wetlands.&#8221; They buried the lead of the story! I am halfway to the second page of the story, and the lead of the story is that Bush in his five years spent far more on these projects down there, flood control projects, than Clinton did in his last five years. We also know that the Corps of Engineers gets more money for Louisiana than any other state. We now have learned that Mary Landrieu cooked the books on the $194 million deepening project that flunked a cost-benefit analysis. <\/line><BR\/> So senator, it seems to me you\u2019re going to have a real hard time making the case that George Bush didn\u2019t do enough. It seems to me, senator, you\u2019re going to have a real tough time blaming President Bush for this. It seems to me, senator, that what you ought to really be worried about is somebody investigating you and your daddy and every other Democrat that has run that state, that has willfully accepted all of these dollars and not spent them where they were targeted. And again, Senator, I\u2019d simply like to ask you, where is the legislation that you sponsored to upgrade the levees from category three to category five? Where is it? Is Bush supposed to have done that, too? Yeah, everybody\u2019s reading all these articles written years ago about the dangers of what could happen, and, yeah, they look awfully prophetic. Well, you could have read them, too. The mayor could have read them. That governor down there could have read them. And you all could have demanded that something be done about the levees, lifting their capabilities from cat three to cat five, but I don\u2019t see anybody producing legislation saying, &#8220;See? We asked for it, and we didn\u2019t get it.&#8221; I see you getting more than any other state gets on these types of projects, but I don\u2019t know how, senator, you can go from where you are to blaming President Bush for this, and somehow portray yourself as an innocent bystander. You\u2019re a member of the US Senate. You did nothing.<\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I\u2019m still stuck on this. So Mary Landrieu says that even Mr. Bill, of Saturday Night Live even knew the levees would fail. Well, where was Mary Landrieu then? My gosh, if a cartoon character on Saturday Night Live knows the levees are going to fail! By the way, Mr. Bill&#8230;? I don\u2019t even watch Saturday Night Live anymore. When\u2019s that bite from, Mike? Mike\u2019s got the bite of Mr. Bill saying it. I don\u2019t know if I want to play it, but do you know what the date of it is, how long ago? Has Mr. Bill been on the air since Bush took office? They brought him back, or is Mr. Bill one of these ancient characters that\u2019s still ancient on Saturday Night Live? Does anybody know? It\u2019s ancient, okay. Okay, okay. So the point is, if Mr. Bill knew this way back in the nineties, if a cartoon character knew it, then a lot of people knew it during the Clinton years, during all kinds of things, and yet here comes Mary Landrieu. I\u2019m telling you, folks, this effort to steer this away from New Orleans. You know what they\u2019re going to propose next? You watch. The next commission that is appointed to study this, the chairman will be Kathleen Blanco and the assistant chairman will be Ray Nagin, and people will say, &#8220;Well, we put Jamie Gorelick on the 9\/11 Commission and you didn\u2019t object.&#8221; That\u2019s about where this is headed, if they get their way. Here\u2019s Tom in Memphis. Tom, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: Hey, Rush, hope you\u2019re having a good day.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: The reason Mary Landrieu is running around making so much noise is politically she is toast. She just lost her base. She\u2019s run twice and barely won her Senate seat by just thousands of votes each time, very close elections.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah, from New Orleans is where that support came from.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: That\u2019s right. Orleans Parish pulled her through. Now, it\u2019s problematic. If most of those people are going to move back, A, if the city is even going to be ready to vote next time she\u2019s up a year from November &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Ah, ah, no, no, the Democrats, they\u2019ll vote even if they\u2019re not there.<\/line><BR\/> CALLER: Well, that may be, but still a lot of those people are never going to go back and if they do have anything approaching a normal election, which I agree in Louisiana is problematic. She\u2019s lost her base. She\u2019s gotta run around sounding different and appealing to different people or she loses next time easy.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: That\u2019s an interesting point and I\u2019m going to use your point to expand it into an overall discussion here that does not impact the Democratic Party well. Let\u2019s stick to New Orleans. You\u2019re exactly right. All these evacuees are not going to go back to New Orleans. They\u2019re all Democrats. They all vote Democrat. You know they vote Democrat, 99% of them vote Democrat, and a lot of them are not going to go back, and one of the reasons they\u2019re not going to go back is because after all this aid gets spent they\u2019re going to have nicer places to live than they had when they lived in New Orleans, and they\u2019re going to have more opportunities for jobs. New Orleans was a demonstrable failure for these people, and that\u2019s why I think there needs to be an investigation of liberalism down there. Far from creating a utopia, look at what they created. So these people don\u2019t go back. So there\u2019s a significant number of Democrats not voting in Louisiana, and it could be. I mean, how many people have been evacuated, 182,000? I don\u2019t know how many of those are going to go back, but let\u2019s say 90,000 of them don\u2019t, that\u2019s 90,000 votes that are not going to be voted for Democrat candidates in Louisiana, and Tom is right. Mary Landrieu barely, barely eked out the last two elections, and it took Bill Clinton making phone calls down in New Orleans to get these people out to vote, and it was razor-thin. <\/line><BR\/>Now, little known to people is that much the same type of thing is happening in the northeast and the upper Midwest, otherwise known as the Rust Belt. The number of people, for example, moving to Florida is calculated to be 800 a day, despite four hurricanes last year, and one hurricane this year, 800 people a day moving to Florida. Many of them are moving to the Tampa-St. Pete area, Jacksonville along the panhandle in Florida. They\u2019re moving from places like Long Island and other parts of New York state. They\u2019re coming from Cleveland, they\u2019re coming from places in Detroit and Michigan and so forth, and the reason is that the taxes, real estate, property tax, income taxes have gotten so high that people cannot afford to live there and work there. And they\u2019re able to move to Florida with a job that pays pretty much the same but have twice the house, with no state income tax. They have more disposable income. They\u2019re able to actually factor sending their kids to college. If this rate of 800 people a day moving to Florida &#8212; and, by the way, most of the people in these areas are Democrats. When you\u2019re talking about New York and Michigan and upper Ohio, Cleveland, you\u2019re talking about Democrats. So if this rate of 800 a day moving to Florida keeps up and everybody expects it not only to keep up but increase, in ten years Florida will have more electoral votes than New York, and when the Democrats start losing bodies to get to the polls in these northeastern and Rust Belt states, they\u2019re losing Democrats up there. It\u2019s not so much that enough Democrats are leaving New York, say, that it will become a Republican state, but they\u2019re going to lose electoral votes. Their electoral map for winning the presidency is what\u2019s going to change. Florida is clearly a Republican state and getting more so by the day, and the same thing is happening in the South. The Democrats have written the South off, as you know, except for Louisiana. They\u2019ve written it off, and that\u2019s where these people happen to be moving. Some are moving to North Carolina. Some are moving to South Carolina. Some are moving to Georgia. Some are coming all the way down to Florida. But they are leaving, and it\u2019s going to change the electoral map for presidential elections for the Democratic Party. <\/line><BR\/> It used to be you get New York and California and you\u2019re pretty much home free. Not going to be the case in ten to 15 years, and what can the Democrats do to reverse this? There isn\u2019t a whole lot they can do to reverse it because they\u2019d have to change their whole world view and ideology. They\u2019re not going to cut taxes. They\u2019re not going to make it easier for people to move into the state and open businesses. You get punished for success in these liberal-run places. But you have states that have no income tax, and a property tax base that makes some sense, some places. Not all. But some places. You have a far better lifestyle, not to mention, not to mention the weather aspects and the climate aspects, not to mention not having any snow, not to mention any of the trials and tribulations of winter. Yeah, you trade that for hurricane possibilities and so forth, but 800 people a day are making the bet moving to Florida. So what\u2019s happening in Louisiana, a little microcosm of it, all those Democrats that are being evacuated from the state, and this will be what the Democrats will ultimately decide was the real Bush conspiracy. To get all these Democrats out of Louisiana, give them all kinds of state money, turn them into wards of the Republican state, make them so love and appreciate Republicans for helping them out, after the Republicans point out that you were living in squalor for year after year after year under Democrat control, hurricane came along, yeah, wrecked your life but look who helped you. We did. We wrote the checks. Ka-ching. That\u2019s how government works, folks. I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s frustrating, but it\u2019s just the way it works. But in electoral politics you have a chance that these voters may stay Democrat, they\u2019re black, they may stay Democrat, but some of them may not. But regardless, the voting base of Democrats in Louisiana has been lessened. It\u2019s been diluted now because of some of them aren\u2019t going to go back. And this is a trend that not too many people are talking about. Where I first heard about this trend in the northeast interestingly was in a very long and worrisome article in one addition of the Sunday New York Times about two months ago. And they had quotes of families, they had individual stories of families who had left, and why, with comparative numbers on their lifestyles, earning the same amount of money, more job opportunities outside Long Island and Cleveland and so forth. <\/line><BR\/>I\u2019m telling you, you hang around where liberals run the show, where liberalism is unchecked, and you do not get utopia. You don\u2019t get anything. You get a welfare state. You get a welfare state on top of a welfare state. We got the federal welfare state, then you got the one the liberals set up in these states. So you got redundant welfare states that these residents are paying for on both ends. And there\u2019s no thought given to whether the next tax increase can be afforded. They just levy it, and if you can\u2019t afford it, too bad. Well, people are finally saying too bad for you because we\u2019re leaving, and what could the Democrats do to stop it? Not much because they\u2019re not going to change their world view. <\/line><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I\u2019ve read the other day yesterday that there are two options with the Superdome. By the way, one more thing on this Mary Landrieu business. Bush did not say, &#8220;Nobody anticipated the levees would fail,&#8221; before the hurricane. This is a key thing that you people must know. She took the president\u2019s quote out of context. He was talking after the storm had passed and the levees at that point held, the city was dry the second day. Nobody anticipated then that the levees would break. That\u2019s what he was talking about. If they had survived the storm, then nobody expected them to break after that, and that\u2019s probably true.<\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, I\u2019ve always liked Mary Landrieu, I must confess.
