An open letter to Senator Mary Landrieu (D), Louisiana

The Honorable Mary Landrieu
Dear Senator:

I heard your interview with Anderson Cooper September 1st on CNN (video). I found him very rude. While you were trying to thank a laundry list of politicians (former President Clinton, former President Bush, President Bush, Senator Frist, etc) for their help and support, he interrupted you. He kept saying (does he ever shut up?) that it was difficult to listen to politicians thanking and complimenting each other while there was a dead body nearby that was being eaten by rats, while victims of Katrina continued to suffer because no help had arrived. I think he would have kept going -- pointing out that people were still dying, people were still without food, people were still without water -- if you hadn't, thankfully, interrupted him to again thank the President for his help.

I'm sure you didn't have time to finish the list of politicians you'd like to thank, so I'm offering up this space to post any thank you notes you'd like to send.

Kindest regards,

Dave
