Yep. Election Day happened.
Louisiana Dem Sen. Mary Landrieu seat is in big trouble, so this afternoon, she took to the Senate floor in one heartfelt, last-ditch effort to plead her case. With a little help from an unlikely source: Keystone XL.

Landrieu is not only proposing passage of Keystone, she's also demanding a vote on giving everyone in Louisiana a flying car.

Like Landrieu's passion but sacrificing a polar bear on an altar made of pipeline built with her bare hands on the Senate floor was too much

Just waiting for @MaryLandrieu to go all “Well, U.S. Americans because some people don’t have maps.” https://t.co/1wiCHWwlvJ

Landrieu should introduce a raft of hilarious bills in the next week. Annexation of Texas, federal tax exemption for Louisianans, free beer.

MT @senlandrieu: I deal with the goddamn energy committee so voters don’t have to. I have people skills! I’m a people person, dammit!

She’s something, all right.
Trying to recall an act of political desperation as pathetic as this.
