After $100 million health care sweetener, maybe Landrieu can be next year’s Dem keynoter

Landrieu

Moderate Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu was dumped as keynote speaker for the Palm Beach County Democratic Party’s recent fund-raising dinner because party activists were upset that Landrieu wouldn’t pledge to block a Republican health care filibuster.

Now ABC News is reporting that Dems are throwing a $100 million sweetener into the health care bill to lock down Landrieu’s vote.

Does that mean she’ll be acceptable for next year’s Palm Beach County Democratic dinner?

    Sen. Mary Landrieu: You took one of the Worlds biggest bribe of 100 millions Dollars, I hope you enjoy your retirement, and good luck trying to find a local Dr. to use you Senate H/C insurance, the ins you decided to keep when you voted to not have the same insurance that you are shoving down the rest of Americas throat.

    May be you can use the 100 Million dollars to buy your own personal Doctor.

    I am just 1 member of 2971 members that will see you voted out of office if you vote for this H/C Bill. Thank you
