Senator Bears Witness and Bares Emotions
Senator Bears Witness and Bares Emotions: "Mary Landrieu returned to Washington yesterday, slogging through a day of official business as if through water.
'If my heart is a little heavy today, it's because I've seen more in the last two weeks than I've seen in my entire life,' the Louisiana senator said in a floor speech. She stood at her desk, with colleagues rapt in their seats -- nearly all of them fellow Democrats (on orders from Minority Leader Harry Reid) and at least one Republican (Thad Cochran of Mississippi). Sniffles were audible from the gallery as Landrieu catalogued 'what I've seen.' Everyone knows what she saw, at least in its wide-angle contours of aerial devastation shots and death estimates."
