I took a bit of heat for suggesting that if your mother is slowly drowning in a nursing home you don’t wait for the feds you go and get her yourself. And, in comments various places I suggested that Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson Parish, La.’s story on TV did not quite add up….Well, via Instapundit, here’s what the son has to say about Broussard’s version of events,

The chronology of the phone calls described by Broussard came under particular scrutiny by bloggers.

Rodrigue said he didn’t see or hear Broussard’s comments on Meet the Press. When told of the sequence of phone calls that Broussard described on Meet the Press, Rodrigue said “No, no, that’s not true.”

“I can’t tell you what he said that day, why he was confused, I’m assuming he was under a tremendous amount of pressure,” Rodrigue told MSNBC.

“I contacted the nursing home two days before the storm [on Aug. 27th] and again on the 28th of August,” Rodrigue said. “At the same time I talked to the nursing home I also talked to the emergency manager for St. Bernard Parish,” Rodrigue said, “to encourage that nursing home to evacuate like they were supposed to and they didn’t until it was too late.”

It is, of course, all still Bush’s fault…
