Quote Of The Day
"When I look back at the storms, if I had had the knowledge that I would be treated as a pariah by the national Republicans in office, I would have joined the Republican Party to save my state. Then I would have been hugged and kissed and lifted, and I would have been declared the best governor in this whole country. I wish I had realized that earlier. I think that was the fatal error."— Louisiana Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco, quoted in The Shreveport Times, commenting on her political decline since Hurricane Katrina and her recent decision to not seek reelection.

Nothing like giving in to the extortionist Republicans ...or maybe she can fight them for the rest of her life to help the whole country.

Blanco's statement merely affirms the partisan political nature of Purgegate. Haley Barbour in Mississippi, had no trouble getting national support. But then he is the former GOP chair for the state.

I think this a great quote. But, "nothing like giving in to extortionist Republicans..." from Tom?
Tom, I'm pretty sure she's being sarcastic.
