Senator Mary Landrieu Tussles with CNN's Anderson Cooper

Thursday September 1, 2005
From Jillian at DailyKos....

"Anderson Cooper Goes Balistic on Mary Landrieu Right Now.

She's thanking all the politicians. The Big Dog. Bush #1. Frist. Reid. etc. blah blah blah.

Cooper goes off on 'I'm tired of hearing all this backslapping from politicians. I saw a rat eating a body because it's been on the street for two days. Do you get the anger that is out here?' "

Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) is a camera-friendly two-term moderate Democrat who frequently votes with Republicans on swing issues. She's been a very frequent talking TV head in the past few days, giving dozens of interviews and doling out boilerplate reassurances.

Anderson Cooper is an articulate, passionate CNN correspondent and host of the CNN program, 360.

Let's just say....it would be heartening to see politicians doing some of the hard, heartwrenching work, not just making photogenic political hay.
