“Russert explained:
"The mayor of New Orleans is African American. OK? The notion that he somehow turned his back on his own people" doesn't make sense, he argued.”

Russert, a Democrat political operative, placed a Democrat politician whose years of incompetence exposed tens of thousands to risk in his Parish and may have killed thousands, before a national audience. After a week of Louisiana race baiting, partisan media manipulation the President of Jefferson Parish told a series of lies that went unchallenged on Meet the “Press.” Now that Mr. Broussard’s emotional tales have been exposed as lies will Mr. Russert correct the record?
Don’t count on it. Just think about that. A race baiting political operative who put a fellow Democrat on the air will not correct the record. (see also ABC’s Stephanopoulos who allowed a Democrat Senator, also from Louisiana, to perform as an on air narrator of “news” footage culminating with the Senator demanding that no one oppose her or she would “punch” him, apparently referring to the President.)
Lies? Race baiting? Say it is not so, Tim.
So Broussard, who claimed that Wal-Mart's aid was outright rejected (a three truck loads of water), was wrong. Based on Wal-Mart's information, their trucks were taken where FEMA thought they were needed most. It would appear that the same story occurred with the Coast Guard fuel issue. Broussard said that FEMA wouldn't release the fuel to Jefferson Parish - but surely that fuel went somewhere else it was needed. Thanks to Wal-Mart's Sharon Weber for tracking down this information.

Broussard claimed that an infirmed woman in a nursing home (“in St. Bernard nursing home”) called every day for five days before drowning on Friday. If Broussard was referring to the St. Bernard Manor in Jefferson Parish why did he not do something? If he meant “a” St. Bernard home how is it that he did not get a boat and rescue her? The home is less than 8 miles from Jefferson Parish. One home in St. Bernard was not evacuated, the St. Rita's, and 32 patients died. How the other 33 patients were rescued has yet to be explained. Why wasn’t the St. Rita's evacuated? Who is responsible?
It is unlikely that the calls came from St. Bernard Parish as all communication lines were down. How is it that this one phone worked for five days in a row?
“We had evacuation plans for all the nursing homes," said parish coroner Brian Johnson Bertucci. "This particular home, due to extenuating circumstances, could not evacuate. They had special-needs patients, which made it difficult to get a bus to lead the people up."
. . . Katrina knocked out communications for several days, so emergency officials couldn't call for help . . . The parish president in St. Bernard says a search and rescue team from Canada finally managed to get in, but it was two days more before any American federal help arrived."We were surrounded by water," said Junior Rodriguez. "All our repeaters were down. Communications were down. . .”

Mr. Broussard, the Jefferson Parish President, had a duty to develope a flood emergency plan including rescue. 100 people who managed to find refuge from the storm in St. Bernard in a riverside warehouse are reported to have died due to lack of drinking water. If the Parish President of Jefferson which is also located on the Mississippi, it borders St. Bernard Parish, is not responsible for this gross incompetence to plan for and rescue 100 people just on the border of the Parish, then how is it that the Federal Government is responsible? Where are the Parish rescue boats? Where are the Parish emergency supplies? Storm evacuation centers? Any plan at all? Yet nothing is said about any of this.
Instead of taking responsibility for his criminal neglegence Mr. Broussard seeks with tears and emotion to deflect blame and punishment. He then actually blames the Federal Government for killing the very people his own incompetence drowned.
But do not look to the media to follow up on any of this. Russert will not because Mr. Broussard is White and the people he killed were also White. Is that it people? "The notion that he somehow turned his back on his own people" doesn't make sense, as Russert argued? Do you agree? But again, do not expect the media to ask, because Democrats control the media at NBC, ABC, CBS, NYT, etc. etc. . . . .
