Aaron Broussard: Part Three

So I've felt obliged to track this Aaron Broussard thing. Broussard, you'll remember, is the Parish president who made such moving comments after the hurricane in New Orleans. I said Democrats should run them on every media availible, come the next election, to remind voters of what was done and not done in the face of such a tragedy.

Then we heard that some of his account was inaccurate. Not in the particulars of what happened--a friend's mother did die senselessly, after days of calling for help. Just in the specifics of when and, arguably, who was responsible. It seemed to me then and does now that this could logically be attributed to grief rather than "liberal bias." But I was also sickeningly certain the conservatives weren't going to do that.

Bingo.
