We were all moved by Jefferson Parish president Aaron Broussard’s tearful account of the man that lost his mother at St. Rita’s nursing home in St. Bernard County. Mr. Broussard told a shocked nation that this woman drowned last Friday night while waiting for the federal government “Calvary” to rescue her. According to recent news stories and first-hand accounts aired on CNN and in a New York Times story the 32 people that died in this tragedy died on Monday Aug. 29th not on Friday Sep 2nd. I believe that Mr. Broussard and other local officials need to explain to the American public why they did not evacuate these people and why he altered the story and shifted blame to the Federal Government.

They have to maintain the fiction that local officials are blameless, and all the death and destruction is the fault of the evil Republican Administration.

Like I said before, those who are most hysterical seem like they might have the most to hide. Blanco, Nagin, Landrieu and Broussard.
