My new heroine

My favorite quote is:
"No matter your vicious rhetoric about Protestants and Catholics and blacks and whites and Hispanics and women, we refuse to be divided. In a time of war, which we are in, when the country is under assault and we have men and women dying in Iraq, it is the height of disrespect and un-Americanism to come to this great floor and talk about the pettiness . . ."

Just a great speech overall. I'll have to look more into this Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana. Thanks for standing up to those conservatives, Senator! You tell 'em!

edit: for some reason, they have removed the link. I will search for a link to the speech.
