Florida Democrats Punish Mary Landrieu

Florida Democrats are punishing Sen. Mary Landrieu for not supporting the public option. The Palm Beach County Democratic Party has decided not to have Landrieu as the keynote speaker for the keynote speaker for the Truman-Kennedy-Johnson dinner.

“We just didn’t want to have a keynote speaker who’s not committed to cloture. It would have just been wrong,” said Siegel, who said party higher-ups and rank-and-file members had voiced displeasure with the choice of Landrieu as a keynoter.

Landrieu has hinted that she would support a Republican filibuster of the health care bill. I 100 percent agree with Palm Beach County Democratic Party for uninviting Landrieu as keynote speaker. No new keynote speaker has been chosen.

Side note: The Palm Beach Post couldn't reach Landrieu's office for comment. I can believe not reaching Landrieu but the entire office. Translation: no one in Landrieu's camp want to comment on being dissed by Palm Beach Democrats for not supporting health care reform.
