The nursing home that Aaron Broussard has been on TV crying about his friend's mother who drowned, was ask to leave by bus and the owner of the nursing home refused to leave. The county came by to pick them up in a bus and the owner refused the offer.
Holy crap. (not the news itself--just that CBS reported it.)
It's Brown's Fault. </sarcasm>
Let's see what "Big Russ" has to say this Sunday...
i didn't believe him when I saw his interview.
No situation is so dire that a little levity isn't appreciated.
Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard might not have been striving for a laugh during an interview on WWL-TV Tuesday night, but he sure got some giggles from a group of Times-Picayune reporters gathered at the Houma Courier putting together Wednesday's edition of The Times-Picayune.
Broussard, responding to questions about how long it would take to get the metro area back in shape, said he would try to do better than any estimate given. For instance, if the estimate for electricity is one month, he said he and other officials would strive to complete the task in less time than that.
I'm an optimist, he told the reporter, adding he otherwise wouldn't be wearing the shirt he had on.
The shirt? A New Orleans Saints shirt, of course.
Yabba Dabba Doo!
What is wrong with LA polititians are they all frauds?
the only thing he did right was allow jefferson parish residents to come back in and get their belongings.
My sister and her fiance did just that.
The home had 3 inches of water in the front part of it. The hugh pine tree in the back of the house was uplifted and fell on the house damaging the roof above their living room.
They said the miliary helicopters were flying in their neighborhood every five minutes.
Looky what we have here..
Surprising, because CBS had Aaron Broussard starring in the special report they did about Katrina last evening.
Aaron Broussard got his 15 minutes. [Probably is trying work up a movie-of-the-week, book deals, talkshow appearances, etc.]
Reminds me of a story.
Seems there was a big flood coming and Floyd was sitting on his porch. Along came a SUV and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later the rising flood waters had forced Floyd to the second floor. Along came a boat and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later the rising flood waters had forced Floyd to the roof. Along came a helicopter and offered him a ride. Floyd refused saying God would take care of him.
A little later Floyd died when the rising flood waters rose over the roof. When Floyd got to Heaven, he asked God: "Lord, why didn't you rescue me from the flood?" God replied: "You fool, I sent a SUV, a boat, and a helicopter....."
My god......this people are despicable........is there not an honorable one among them?
link?
Another liar....what else is new?
Isn't this phony close to being indicted? Jail is in his future if I recall correctly.
NO!
BTW .... Aaron Broussard has been under an FBI investigation ... for fraud
I read on another thread that Broussard is under Federal indictment.
Just a blast from the archives..

I was in Raleigh during Floyd (and Goldsboro during Fran). Interesting to look at the comparisons. People were still living in FEMA trailers when I left NC in 2002.
Well theres a suprise.
Not!
I can't decide which I'm more surprised about. The story itself, or that CBS reported it.
Village idiots they are, now with fewer villages to claim them.
wee.
yes go visit some time, they don't even hide it.
I continue to be amazed. It was yesterday that Broussard played the employee's mother who drowned story. Now we find that the nursing home refused to evacuate. Incredible. Even more incredible is that it was reported on CBS.
wee.
Welcome to Louisiana politics. While the pols in places like New Jersey are merely corrupt, the pols in LA are corrupt AND stupid.
And as we can see here, that's a really deadly combination. And they actually expect us to just hand them a blank check and look away while they spend it!
How did CBS report this?
Is there an online article on this too?
Louisiana: It's like having a Banana Republic right here in the US.
Please please please someone find a link for this, I will forward to brother drudge
Anytime I think I'm a slacker who could have done better... I think of democrats, and suddenly I look like a king.
Such a surprise.
"And they actually expect us to just hand them a blank check and look away while they spend it!"
Not an entirely irrational expectation, looking back over the last several decades. Times do change, though. Or at least I hope so.
And did you hear all the carping about FEMA then?
Did you hear the citizens of this state screaming "Where's my stuff?"
I hate to judge people by appearances but this guy really looks the part.
Alright, I can't take it any more, I want to know what kind of a man leaves his mother in a nursing home for 5 days while she calls every day begging to get out? Just what the hell is wrong with these people?
Who was that Louisiana Sherriff that was in a few of the 70s James Bond movies?
"Who was that Louisiana Sherriff that was in a few of the 70s James Bond movies?"
JW Pepper.
As I recall, BJ flew over Eastern NC once and bit his lip for the camera.
I'm really starting to wonder if democrats would allow thousands to die in a desperate attempt to hang the deaths on Bush.
Me neither. Personally we said as we listened to his account of how the woman called her son every day asking when someone was coming to get her and every day he told her the next day...same call..the next day again and again till she died.
If it were my mother, mother in law, father, father in law I would have rented a boat and gone to get her MYSELF! There is NO WAY I would have promised my mother or others that help would get to them day after day after day when she was crying to me on the phone.
"As I recall, BJ flew over Eastern NC once and bit his lip for the camera."
The thing from Floyd that really stuck with me was those aerial shots of the sound, as all the dead cattle and debris from inland finally washed out the mouth of the river. I think the scale of it finally hit me then.
It made me sick to my stomach to watch.
Ok. So who's going to send Russert an email telling him how foolish he looked while comforting this shyster?
I knew he was faking. Just too pat and his story didn't wash. Why didn't he go rescue the mom on his own.
What a maroon.
Oh his crying and sobbing was just awful. He has to look at himeself in the mirror sometime...better him than me.
exaclty. never leave to someone else what you can do yourself. he would have gotten to his own mother before worrying about others. anyone would have. this guy just wanted to be dramatic, on top of incorrect.
shame, shame, shame. Shame, shame, shame.
shame, shame, shame. Shame, shame, shame.
And no raping and looting.
