Mary Landrieu of Louisiana-Liar

Mary Landrieu is one



Democratic senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana is in a tough reelection battle because of her support for Obamacare. So its not surprising her latest TV ad focuses on the one high-profile fight she's had with the Obama administration, over oil and gas exploration. The 60-second spot features people watching Landrieu arguing for expanding energy exploration in Louisiana and criticizing Barack Obama for its restrictionist policies. Watch the video below:





Most of the clips the ad features are from her appearances on local and cable TV news. But watch the clips of Landrieu around the video's halfway point. They feature the senator speaking in what looks like a congressional hearing, excoriating a faceless witness. "They have to sit here and listen to the federal government say, 'We can't share a penny with you'? I will not rest until this injustice is fixed," Landrieu says. "Do you think there are a bunch of fairy godmothers out there who just wave a magic wand?"

The clips feature a chyron at the bottom of the screen for a program called "Eye on Washington." Below that is the headline, "Obama administration says it won't support increased oil and gas revenue sharing." The problem is that the video clip doesn't come from C-SPAN or any other real TV show. In fact, the clip is a reenactment of a real committee hearing from last year, viewable here. The relevant lines that Landrieu recreated for the campaign ad begin at about 2 hours and 30 minutes into the video.

Just another self serving politician who will retire to Virginia if we can get her out of office. She's never coming back.

Revenue sharing? What exactly is that?

retire to Virginia???
Good Lord, please, have mercy, no. We already have a Clintinoid for governor and two commie senators. Send her on north. Send her to France even, but not Virginia. After 149 years, we still haven't got rid of the carpetbaggers.

"Send her to France even ... "

Skoonj inches away from LCG Tailgunner Dick, hoping not to be in the line of fire when the carnage ensues.

Send her to Hawaii. They have volcanos there.
