Dan Rather is working hard to get to the bottom of all this...
Has anyone tested the water in NOLA/LA for drugs?
NBC wasn't fooled.
They knew there were no phones for this woman to call out. They loved the drama and emotion and Bush bashing!
The Pajamadeen strike again.
If by 'news business' you mean swill merchant, then yes, russert at the top of his game.
You saw him TODAY on Spittin' Chrissy Matthews show on MSNBC??? Isn't this thread an MSNBC via Drudge Story??? MSNBC, Matthews EMPLOYER KNOWS he is a LIAR and yet Chrissy doesn't???? MSNBC... The Network of Punks.
I see the title of the article labels it a "misunderstanding".
Nice spin.
Anyone have Tim the Toad's e-mail address?
Politicizing your own mother's death? Outrageous.
"An emotional moment and a misunderstanding
Story of a mother’s desperate calls from nursing home skewed"
Not only is it craven but a lie itself:
"..Story of a mother’s desperate calls.."
"..Rodrigue said he didn’t see or hear Broussard’s comments on Meet the Press. When told of the sequence of phone calls that Broussard described on Meet the Press, Rodrigue said “No, no, that’s not true.”
“I can’t tell you what he said that day, why he was confused, I’m assuming he was under a tremendous amount of pressure,” Rodrigue told MSNBC.
“I contacted the nursing home two days before the storm [on Aug. 27th] and again on the 28th of August,” Rodrigue said. “At the same time I talked to the nursing home I also talked to the emergency manager for St. Bernard Parish,” Rodrigue said, “to encourage that nursing home to evacuate like they were supposed to and they didn’t until it was too late.”
Broussard must have been confused “because I was calling, not my mother calling me, I was calling her,” Rodrigue said. Further, Rodrigue says he never made any calls after Monday, the day he figures his mother died, based on conversations he’s had with another person who had a family member perish inside St. Rita’s. Officials believe that the residents of St. Rita’s died on Monday, Aug. 29, not on Friday, Sept. 2, as Broussard had suggested..."
"Monday they almost found the cash ear-marked for levee funds I've had hidden in my attic for 10 years......wahhhh!"
"Then Tuesday they almost found the 50 boxes of blank ballots for the next election in my closet.....waaahhh!"
"Then Wednesday Homeland Security did a background check and found I was one of 65 previously unknown siblings of Cindy Sheehan's alien commune doper babies....WHHHHAAAA!"
Thanks.
"rethinks" on spreading the lie because the network got caught.
It would be on the NBC Website or MSNBC 's. Maybe we can get lots of messages to him. It would be great to see Rush pick it up on his show and Hannity as well as Laura, this really is a sequel to Dan Blather's Memogate! Tim Bustert really did it this time!
Broussard may have been trying to cover for the Nursing Home owners, with a small parish, probably it was known by the major players that those helpless patients had knowingly been abandoned!He knew full well they had drown as an act of criminal actions. But then just attacking the Administration with known lies is normal for the MSM as well.
