Mary Landrieu actually said...

"I have every confidence in this chairman to provide leadership."

"I have written you several times about it. I am going to write again to clarify their role."

"I am so proud of you for being in charge of this because your demeanor through this whole hearing has, once again, proven to me that you are the right person for this job."

"We are not in a scrimmage. We are in a war."
