I have yet to see any descriptions of the perps. My only fear is this may turn out to be like the chick who claimed Obama people cut her face, then admitted she faked the attack.

LOL...okay, I don’t mean to laugh because this is a serious subject, but you aren’t suggesting it was a domestic dispute, where he broke her leg, she broke his jaw, and they made up the whole story to cover up the altercation, are you?

I doubt that she faked a broken leg. She’s already has surgery.

OK, Rush is ignoring it.

I think I’ll call Perry’s office and ask his staff what they think of this.

Sure...happens all the time. People break their own legs, and fracture their jaws....in fake attacks.

I don't know how you fake breaking your own leg, or your boyfriend's nose. I suppose it's possible.

Not likely. In this area of the French Quarter, there are several surveillance cameras on every block.I suspect the police already have solid leads on the perpetrators.

A broken leg, broken nose and jaw to fake such a thing exhibits a level of commitment rarely seen. I tend to doubt it.

I hear you, but two people are going through an awful lot of trouble for a broken leg and a broken jaw if so.

Here is something new that I found on line from a Ben Smith article on Politico.

An assault in the Quarter

"The Times-Picayune reports that Governor Bobby Jindal's office is downplaying any political side to what, otherwise, seems a bit hard to explain:

Gov. Bobby Jindal's chief campaign fund-raiser is recovering from injuries she suffered in a Friday night altercation with a group of people in the French Quarter, the governor's office said Monday.

Allee Bautsch suffered a broken leg and her boyfriend suffered a concussion and a fractured nose and jaw in the incident, which happened after a fundraising event at Brennan's Restaurant on behalf of the Louisiana Republican Party on Friday evening.

"Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin says in a statement: "While there were protestors around at that time, we are not aware of any evidence that the individuals involved in the altercation were protestors."

UPDATE: I've dropped a link to a Louisiana blog that says it was political, as Plotkin tells me that a detail in that item -- that the pair were were supposedly wearing Palin pins -- is false.

ALSO: A note of caution from Michelle Malkin, whose instinct in a similar case during the presidential campaign was proven right."
