Holy crap. (not the news itself--just that CBS reported it.)
It's Brown's Fault. </sarcasm>
Let's see what "Big Russ" has to say this Sunday...
i didn't believe him when I saw his interview.
No situation is so dire that a little levity isn't appreciated.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard might not have been striving for a laugh during an interview on WWL-TV Tuesday night, but he sure got some giggles from a group of Times-Picayune reporters gathered at the Houma Courier putting together Wednesday's edition of The Times-Picayune.
Broussard, responding to questions about how long it would take to get the metro area back in shape, said he would try to do better than any estimate given. For instance, if the estimate for electricity is one month, he said he and other officials would strive to complete the task in less time than that.
I'm an optimist, he told the reporter, adding he otherwise wouldn't be wearing the shirt he had on.
The shirt? A New Orleans Saints shirt, of course.
Yabba Dabba Doo!
What is wrong with LA polititians are they all frauds?
the only thing he did right was allow jefferson parish residents to come back in and get their belongings.
My sister and her fiance did just that.
The home had 3 inches of water in the front part of it. The hugh pine tree in the back of the house was uplifted and fell on the house damaging the roof above their living room.
They said the miliary helicopters were flying in their neighborhood every five minutes.
Looky what we have here..
Surprising, because CBS had Aaron Broussard starring in the special report they did about Katrina last evening.
Aaron Broussard got his 15 minutes. [Probably is trying work up a movie-of-the-week, book deals, talkshow appearances, etc.]
Reminds me of a story.
Seems there was a big flood coming and Floyd was sitting on his porch. Along came a SUV and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later the rising flood waters had forced Floyd to the second floor. Along came a boat and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later the rising flood waters had forced Floyd to the roof. Along came a helicopter and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later Floyd died when the rising flood waters rose over the roof. When Floyd got to Heaven, he asked God: "Lord, why didn't you rescue me from the flood?" God replied: "You fool, I sent a SUV, a boat, and a helicopter....."
link?
I read on another thread that Broussard is under Federal indictment.
Well theres a suprise.
Not!
I continue to be amazed. It was yesterday that Broussard played the employee's mother who drowned story. Now we find that the nursing home refused to evacuate. Incredible. Even more incredible is that it was reported on CBS.
Alright, I can't take it any more, I want to know what kind of a man leaves his mother in a nursing home for 5 days while she calls every day begging to get out? Just what the hell is wrong with these people?
Ok. So who's going to send Russert an email telling him how foolish he looked while comforting this shyster?
I knew he was faking. Just too pat and his story didn't wash. Why didn't he go rescue the mom on his own.
What a maroon.
I find this totally shocking/ sarcasm.
