And Russert keeps calling him, Mr. President
Just wait, Mo1, he's going to cry in a minute. LOL
You are having the same experience I had this morning when I watched this. His name is Aaron Broussard, President of Jefferson Parish, and kcvl dug up a whole lot on him. See the Sunday morning thread.
Has he thanked the levee board yet?
Soem speculation the speech he is READING was written by Donna Brazile.
Are you talking about the Broussard guy...who starts blubbering on TV????
Dang...these Louisiana politicians sure are emotional...I think they have all cried now..
OOPS---that last post of mine came off as cruel...
I can see how ANY one in Louisiana would be doing a lot of crying right now...what has happened is horrible, and I don't begrudge them their emotions...
BUT, I think the tears we have seen on TV are manufactured for "effect" to get the heat off of themselves and on to President Bush...
Especially Mayor Nagin, Gov. Blanco and Sen. Landrieu...she is in Washington..and she has the power to put forth bills that would have perhaps helped NO...but hasn't as far as I know..
And to cry and then threaten to "punch" the POTUS...is not what we want the world to see...or our children that need the reassurance that the "grownups" can take care of things.
