...when he b-tch slaps her back, she cowers. » More From The Times-Picayune Election News Election notes News from the campaign trail From staff and wire reports Wednesday November 05, 2003 Nagin, Landrieu exchange words New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin accused U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu of hypocrisy Tuesday after she suggested he had betrayed the Democratic Party with his endorsement of Republican Bobby Jindal for governor. Landrieu, who is backing Democrat Kathleen Blanco, issued a statement Monday saying she was "surprised and disappointed" that Nagin would support a candidate "whose national party advocates the lowering of the minimum wage, cutting of health care and underfunding of education reform efforts." On a radio show and through a spokesman Tuesday, Nagin pointed out that Landrieu had touted her own support of President Bush and his GOP administration while campaigning for re-election last year. "The mayor and many other Democrats were just as surprised when Landrieu took a stance in the runoff for Senate that she voted 74 percent of the time with President Bush," said Nagin spokesman Patrick Evans, echoing the mayor's comments on a radio show Tuesday morning. Nagin also said Landrieu failed to endorse Democrat Cleo Fields against Republican Mike Foster after she was edged out of the 1995 gubernatorial runoff by Fields. A spokesman for Landrieu declined to comment on Nagin's response. "We'll just stick with the (Monday) statement," said Mark Mintz. "Going tit-for-tat is not in the best interests of anybody."
She didn't support him in his election. and the right wing, is the LAST bunch to talk about hypocrisy - I can't think of a single big issue of theirs they aren't hypocritical about - they exempt themselves from all of their laws and rules, from sex (nice blowjob, Gunkrich) to drugs (right wing junkies need treatment and love) to finance (government waste is bad, unless it is wasted on Haliburton or other sleazeball government contractors).
