In Mary Landrieu’s world, a $2.5 million house is ‘not a mansion’

OPINION/ANALYSIS:

Sen. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat, attacked her Republican opponent Rep. Bill Cassidy for owning a large, lakefront home in the state this weekend while downplaying the perks of her home in Washington, D.C.

In video obtained by the conservative tracking group America Rising PAC, Ms. Landrieu, in the middle of her attack on Mr. Cassidy, called a friend to the stage to describe her humble, $2.5-million abode as “a town home, not a mansion.”

“It’s 36 feet wide,” Ms. Landrieu added.

But Ms. Landrieu failed to note the full dimensions of the house. America Rising PAC reports the house is 7,316 square feet, featuring five bathrooms, two dishwashers and 82 sprinkler heads, according to plumbing permits.

Mr. Cassidy may own water-front property, but at least he’s a Louisiana homeowner. After three terms in the Senate, Ms. Landrieu still crashes with her parents when she’s in state.
