“I make no apologies for seeking this provision. I don’t back-up an inch.” So said Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu, who took to the Senate floor today in defense of the Louisiana Purchase – the $300 million deal described as a bribe or political prostitution by her detractors.

Two items involving U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana Jim Letten surfaced today, neither likely having much to do with each other.
