WASHINGTON - The Jefferson Parish president's emotional retelling of a mother's desperate calls from a New Orleans nursing home included details that conflict with the timeline of the tragedy.
The story, of a colleague's mother begging her son for rescue as flood waters rose after Hurricane Katrina, came to prominence on Sunday, Sept. 4, when Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson Parish in New Orleans, was interviewed by Tim Russert on NBC's Meet the Press. (MSNBC is a Microsoft-NBC joint venture.)
New details and interviews with the son whose mother died in the flood show that the tragedy unfolded from Saturday through Monday, Aug. 29 — not Monday through Friday, Sept. 2 as recounted by Broussard. The owners of the nursing home were indicted Tuesday for the deaths of more than 30 residents, which officials say occurred on Aug. 29.

Wonderful thought . . . the fact that we think it's wonderful is exactly why Russert nor any other journalist will submit to questioning by anyone but a made man.
BROUSSARD: Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God sakes, shut up and send us somebody.
You know, when I first heard this quote, I was sure the last word of that was "Money"... but I really was not sure. I thought about it... he must of said something that just sounded like "Money" (ie: like "somebody"). And then, just a few minutes later, the LSM plays it again (maybe same channel, maybe another, i don't recall)... and again, I had this strong feeling, a deja vous all over again feeling, he said "Money".
Did you see Papa Bush's comments from the Meadowlands Saints game where he did the official coin toss during Shep's show this evening....?
To paraphrase- When asked about Slick's comments (read bashing) to Stephie, HW said "well I imagine they'll be getting their fair share if Hillary runs for President"....!

An emotional moment and a misunderstanding
These are all common words that would not ring a bell in a search engine. I don't think this is an accident.
In fact, the title, "An emotional moment and a misunderstanding" does not show up in Google News search under that exact wording and in quotatation marks. It does appear in regular Google search, if you use the exact title.
This is an effort to acknowledge Broussard's divergence from the facts and at the same time bury the story. Thank God this got to DRUDGE! At least the story will get some exposure.
] Poppy Bush has "turned the other cheek" so often, I bet his butt has completely disappeared!
another nail in the casket of MSM. Gotta love every bit of it. Savor these small victories. I bet they knew what they were getting, no misunderstandings.
I feel bad he lost his mother, but no way she would have had to call. I wouldnt let that happen.
