I Actually Saw This Guy Blubber On Meet The Press....

Aaron Broussard, the President of Jefferson Parish in or around New Orleans was interviewed on the Meet The Press program that I wrote about a few weeks ago since Tim Russert did such an awful job on that show. He broke down in tears and blubbered away for a few moments recounting a vivid time-line of events on the death of a co-worker's mother. The problem with President Broussard's account is that he changed the timeline of events and fabricated parts the actual situation to create an emotional blame filled moment. You can see the film here and see where he mislead the public. What his motivation was for embellishing upon the tragic death of a colleague's mother is somewhat of a mystery to me.

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
