Remember (if you hadn’t already fallen in to a coma) when Lil’ Bobby Jindal told his little story about Sheriff Henry Lee during the REPUBLICAN bungled aftermath of Katrina? Remember how proud he looked at having been included in Sheriff Lee’s yelling at a state official on the phone about rescuing people in unlicensed boat? Yeah, Jindal made all that shit up, because he’s a liar, and thus, a quickly rising star in the Republican Party.
HuffPo –
Jindal had described being in the office of Sheriff Harry Lee “during Katrina,” and hearing him yelling into the phone at a government bureaucrat who was refusing to let him send volunteer boats out to rescue stranded storm victims, because they didn’t have the necessary permits. Jindal said he told Lee, “that’s ridiculous,” prompting Lee to tell the bureaucrat that the rescue effort would go ahead and he or she could arrest both Lee and Jindal.
But now, a Jindal spokeswoman has admitted to Politico that in reality, Jindal overheard Lee talking about the episode to someone else by phone “days later.” The spokeswoman said she thought Lee, who died in 2007, was being interviewed about the incident at the time.
Ass. Hole. Yet another Republican screwing up Katrina – even years after the fact.
Oh little Bobby…
You try to raise ’em right, but sometimes they still go bad.
