She was offered 100 million, She insisted on 300 million, and she got it. So Mary Landrieu went ahead and voted for the health Care bill. Was this a case of Bribery, or Extortion?

Do you have evidence of your accusation? BTW, no one has 'voted on the health care bill' yet (Nov 22, 2009) The Senate simply voted to begin debate on it.
-
Old School is right that there hasn't been a vote yet. Otherwise, the answer is both - the $100m offer was a bribe, and her bumping it to $300m was extortion. But don't worry, it was all nice and legal, perhaps unless they check her deep freeze.

They all sold there souls, and our lives to the devil!!

Well according to what is in the question, the first is bribery.

Sounds like typical politics. With Mary Landrieu, there was probably a fifth thrown in as well, or at least a mimbo.

Pft, and to think that some poor fuckers pick up beer bottles on the ground so they can buy one pack of oriental noodles at the dollar store and eat it raw while they wait to die of ass cancer.
-
100 million what? Dollars? Pancakes? Orgasms? It'd be nice to see the source of your statements.
-
Extortion. She admits it, although she denies receiving the money had anything at all to do with her decision to vote to allow the healthcare debate to go on. Yeah..right..you betcha! :(
-
Yes, a.k.a. business as usual.
