Here's the e-mail sent to me by Kyle Plotkin:
Friday night, the Governor’s campaign fundraiser, Allee Bautsch, and her boyfriend were involved in an altercation in the French Quarter with a group of people.
While there were protestors around at that time, we are not aware of any evidence that the individuals involved in the altercation were protestors.
Allee’s leg was badly broken in the incident, she has had surgery, and she is facing a recovery time of two to three months. Her boyfriend had a concussion, and also a fractured nose and jaw. They are both expected to fully recover.
NOPD is investigating the incident and we are refraining from further comment to allow them to fully investigate and ensure justice is done. Our prayers are with Allee. She is a strong person and we are sure she will make a speedy recovery.
That statement is the same one they put out yesterday.
Contrary to the original article, the email you posted does not comport with:
“Gov. Jindal has put out e-mails to select reporters and bloggers saying they were not wearing Palin pins.”
And Malkin wrote that the Palin pins were an “allegation” but not yet proved as “fact”-
but the “pins theory” has not been repudiated at this time.
