Politician caught in tearful lie (Broussard Crying on Meet the Press-Nursing Home Death)

Before retiring recently, I worked for a large retail electronics store. Large, by the fact that the store encompassed 180,000 sq ft.

On a daily basis, small children would get lost from their parents and we would have to take them in hand, reassure them that everything was going to be okay, give them some candy to stop their crying, and page their parents.

It's easy to understand how small children could become lost in such a situation. They couldn't see over the rows of seven foot tall shelves, their legs weren't long enough to keep up with their parents who were rushing to get to the next $10 off special on a hard drive, and they had limited verbal skills to explain what was happening to them.

Their self-preservation mechanism kicked in so they stopped in their tracks and cried as loudly as they could, indicating to adults that they needed help.

Isn't that what we have here; a bunch of people acting like children and complaining because the adults didn't get there soon enough.

Mr. Broussard why didn't you go save the person you cried about? Oh, that's right, she was already dead and you knew it.

Mayor Nagin, "...I don't know whose problem this is."

Senator Landrieu, "...I'm going to hit you if you get close to me..."

Governor Blanco, mumbling incoherently when asked the simplest of questions.

All of the dems crying like the children that they are, incapable of actually taking care of themselves and their constituents, waiting for an adult to give them some candy and pull them out of their trouble.

Isn't that what GW did last night, promise them candy? After all, it takes an adult to be able to see of the tall shelves.

I cannot understand the hubris of the MSM in this day and age still trying to put one over on the people.Do they not understand there is the Internet.Did they forget Rathergate?

This was the most effective and heart wrenching smear mounted against President Bush.

When I first heard the story I couldn't understand how the water was rising at the old woman's house from Monday TO FRIDAY, when it crested on Wednesday everywheres else.

I think it was too. They played it for all it was worth, but
did not do anything about it when they kne it had to be bogus.
Only bloggers and World Net Daily picked it up.

The story finally shows up on MSM. I am surprised, but I guess they thought they had to deal with it. The story mentions the questions raised by bloggers, but spins Broussard's comments as a misunderstanding. Broussard has not yet been contacted on this. I don't know what he will say, but I bet it will be a good yarn. I look for something sentimental with a dash of righteous indignation.

An emotional moment and a misunderstanding (Jefferson Parish Prez lied about death of a mother)

My wife works for a company that has contacts with many nursing homes, some of which are in the area affected by Katrina.

Naturally this issue is the subject of much discussion at the office; in addition to the deaths of those who were left in situ, it appears that hundreds died on buses while being evacuated.
