Broussard? Isn't that the name of the older guy who turned on the waterworks on Meet the Press after Katrina? "I'm coming to get you ma...."
Now isn't THAT an interesting bit of coincidence. Now how to research for that....
"...His mother was trapped in a St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, 'Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?' And he said, 'Yeah, Mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday.' And she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night..."BOOHOOO BOOOHOOO WAAAHHHHH!
Yes, Aaron Broussard, Jefferson Parish. Weird.
MR. AARON BROUSSARD: We have been abandoned by our own country. Hurricane Katrina will go down in history as one of the worst storms ever to hit an American coast, but the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history. I am personally asking our bipartisan congressional delegation here in Louisiana to immediately begin congressional hearings to find out just what happened here. Why did it happen? Who needs to be fired? And believe me, they need to be fired right away, because we still have weeks to go in this tragedy. We have months to go. We have years to go. And whoever is at the top of this totem pole, that totem pole needs to be chain-sawed off and we've got to start with some new leadership....
Transcript from MSNBC Meet the Press It may not be any relation. Broussard may be a common Louisiana name. It is worth looking into, though.
