That "Threatening the President" section is just a bit too melodramatic. Mike H (Talking is hot) 22:08, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

The "Overall Senate appeal" should be deleted.--rtaycher1987 11:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Sicilian???? Can someone please provide some information about the senator's purported Sicilian ancestry! 24.34.179.235

She may have some Sicilian ancestry, be she also have definitely some French ancestry too. Landrieu is a French name.--Revas 17:46, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

"... renewing the ban on semi-automatic firearms." I suppose this refers to the 1994 assault weapons ban in that year's crime bill. I just think the current text of this article makes it sound like all semi-autos were banned or something. Would "certain semi-automatic firearms" be better language, or should we cite language from that law? I'll link this in any case. Boris B 20:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Aww C'mon, the Rush Limbaugh crush is well-known and great trivia!

[edit] Anderson Cooper interview

I've removed the section on her Anderson Cooper interview. That section implied that the interview[2] (dated Sep 1, 2005) caused her to change her position and start criticizing President Bush's handling of Katrina. I found news stories from Aug 26, 2005 [3][4] where she criticized him. I believe we do need some sort of commentary on what she thought of Bush's handling, but the paragraph that was there before demonstrably untrue.--Nonpareility 17:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misleading Smear

The article includes the misleading line that the terror bill applies to US citizens. It only applies to immigrants. Thus, the statement is misleading. Either change the wording or leave it out entirely. Trilemma 14:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title of Article

I think Mary L. Landrieu would be a more appropriote name for this article, as that is what she used, as well as her Congressional staffused . I interned in her Captial Hill office for a short period of time, and was assigned to organize her files. All personal files were titled "MLL" for Mary L. Landrieu, as was her official stationary.

[edit] PATRIOT

Isn't her stand on the USA PATRIOT Act significative?

The bill passed in the House of Representatives on October 24, 2001, and in the Senate (Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) cast the lone dissenting vote, and Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) was the sole non-voting member) on October 25, 2001.
