Rodrigue said he didn’t see or hear Broussard’s comments on Meet the Press. When told of the sequence of phone calls that Broussard described on Meet the Press, Rodrigue said “No, no, that’s not true.”

[Asfarastheeastisfromthewest...]

Beat me by 10 seconds. It was so apparent that there was something fishy from the get-go of the interview when Broussard came out reading from a script. And the tears so obviously crocodile. We will of course expect Timmy to do a followup on this story next Sunday on MTP, no?

This is a hard one. How can any media protect the viewers from someone coming on a show and spouting lies?

Well, they can verify later and issue corrections. But, it takes an awful lot of resources to verify everything said by all talking heads on TV.

Hmmmm.....at some point, you need to trust the people in power coming on a show.

Broussard simply played for the camera and mr. potatohead. He lied to further the rantings of the luntic left that has taken over the democratic party.

[Republican Red]

Russert will ignore it. CNN played the tape over and over too. They will ignore it. Even to make the competition look bad, CNN will not risk alienating their "it's all Bush's fault" audience.

It never happened.

“They had a duty and a standard of care to people who could not care for themselves,” Foti said of the owners. “If you or I decided we are going to stay, we do it of our own free will. ... The people at the nursing home don’t have that choice.”

I imagine everyone's heart goes out to the elderly who suffered and died. Terrible.

'Course, the Dems are pro-choice. Which means that if you provide a nurturing environment for helpless people, and then Choose to have them die, it's no big deal.

I'm really getting tired of the public being manipulated by a bunch of brainless liars.

[WasDougsLamb]

Whole situation is sad.

Cut the guy some slack...it's New Orleans we're talking about. Maybe his mother was doing some of that voodoo crap and was calling him from the "great beyond"...

[Mo1]

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

Does this mean NBC & MSNBC will stopped repeating this lie??

[Rutles4Ever]

Hillary! Why won't you call you're little pookums no more??

[Rutles4Ever]

I know if it were my 90 year old mother, I'd make a phone call, then entrust her life to a couple of nursing home operators instead of making sure she was evacuated.

That's what I'd do, at least.

[TheSpottedOwl]

I would imagine that Mr. Rodrigue would like to b*tchslap Mr. Broussard right about now. How disgusting!

[NonValueAdded]

Given that this was a pre-storm incident, didn't Broussard have a big share of the responsibility given his parish presidentship? What exactly is his culpability in all this? Was his MTP story the result of a misunderstanding or was it a brazen atempt to deflect blame?

[ncountylee]

Jefferson Parish's Email is still down. Want to ask Broussard a few questions.

[jveritas]

Is Tim Russert going to issue a retraction and apology for letting a lie be told on his show and have the defeated liberal media use this segment of his program again and again and again? I am not holding my breath.

[the Deejay]

I did not buy that guy's crocodile tears, the first time I saw the tape.

He reminded me of Susan Smith and her croc tears when she drowned her 2 little boys in the lake & was blaming a black man. I told my hubby, "I say she's lying." I was right.

[aculeus]

What gets me is Russert addressing this blubbering idiot as "Mr President!".

[lormand]

Liberals and RATs have no shame, and will politicize ANYTHING

[God luvs America]

hmm...will Russert ever bring this up on MTP??

[trubluolyguy]

The man is a lying bastard and should be publicly flogged.
