Mary Landrieu actually said...

"We want to help them to get back up, not only because it is the right thing to do, but economically, it is the smart thing to do."

"I am proud that the Senate adopted a $6.9 billion disaster recovery that included all of your agencies."

"I think it is going to be extremely difficult even with the array of other programs."

"But to have programs that people have hope for and not fund them I think is the cruelest of all."
