'Stepped right into that propeller': Sen. Mary Landrieu's #WhereWasBill tweet backfires

As Twitchy reported yesterday, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu, facing a runoff election Dec. 6, has resumed campaigning on Twitter, although her #WhereWasBill tweet racked up only one favorite and zero retweets in its first four hours online. (Nearly 24 hours later, it’s up to three retweets and two favorites.)

Landrieu’s resurrected Twitter campaign has finally caught someone’s attention, although that person is her opponent, Rep. Bill Cassidy, who was happy to answer where he was during Hurricane Katrina. Check out the favorites and retweets on this one.

Mary Landrieu wants to know where I was during Hurricane Katrina? Setting up a surge hospital for refugees. #LASEN http://t.co/YUVH0HKUc5

@Matthops82 And this is why you never ask a question like that unless you're certain of the answer. @Heminator @lagop @MaryLandrieu

@Matthops82 @DocWashburn @lagop @MaryLandrieu Somehow, I don't think that was the answer she was hoping for…

@Matthops82 @Heminator @lagop @MaryLandrieu Debate 101: never ask a question unless you already know the answer.
