Earlier it seemed Senator Mary Landrieu (D. La.) voted for cloture on the Senate health care bill by negotiating $100 million in Medicaid relief for Louisiana. This bribe, which is quickly becoming known and mocked as "the Louisiana Purchase" in reference to the infamous deal with Napolean that handed the United States nearly twice its land holdings for a pittance, apparently wasn't $100 million after all. Mary proudly declared that the bribe or extortion, however you wish to view it, was worth $300 million (20 times the actual Louisiana Purchase). Luckily, Louisiana doesn't have a history of corruption....oh, wait.
