Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) yanks a student’s ethernet cable out of its wall socket and makes him pay her before he continues researching a term paper in the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) latest web ad.
The NRSC has targeted Landrieu for an objection to Sen. John Sununu’s (R-N.H.) bill to make permanent the moratorim on Internet taxes.
Landrieu has since denied that she supports Internet taxes. In a letter to supporters, Landrieu said this week that she voiced the objection on behalf of an absent member (Delaware Democrat Tom Carper) while holding the floor in an attempt to save funding for a Louisiana children’s mental health program.
