An emotional moment and a misunderstandingIt was nothing more than a politcal hatchet job, and you can watch the video here (13.2MB WMV File- Right Click, Save-As). Further, you do not even have to pay real close attention to see he is reading a script through the entire interview.

WASHINGTON - The Jefferson Parish president's emotional retelling of a mother's desperate calls from a New Orleans nursing home included details that conflict with the timeline of the tragedy.
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.
Now you know why for years, I have called it "Meet the Weepy", and yes, this was well before I had even heard of the hypocrite Limbaugh...
