Given the rest of what he had to say, makes you wonder if it really happened. Duros wins!

Zachary Roth did some digging and found some interesting details. First, for example, Lee later acknowledged that he "didn't find out about the license and registration issue until about seven days after the incident." Second, Jindal couldn't have seen Lee arguing during the crisis, since Jindal wasn't in New Orleans while people were stranded on roofs. Third, as Roth documents, details of Jindal's story have "evolved" over time.

“See that, Denny? That’s what is known as consistency.”

It’s putting your beliefs ahead of your party.

Some GOP should have done a long time ago, and not just against Bush and his economic policies / attacks on personal freedoms, but also incidents like Foley.

Byrd repeatedly clashed with the Bush administration over executive power, and it appears that he’s not limiting his criticism to Republican administrations.

Sen. Byrd disagrees with President Obama. In the Democratic party we call them disagreements, on the right thats called heresy. OW

I can see that. Except the Dems have been making a pretty good show of a unified front so far.

However, more ~~cracks~~ “disagreements”:

‘Tennessee may reject stimulus aid for jobless.’

Rachel is dead-on. She lays Jindal out for exactly what he is, a typical Repub hack.

what he was saying was that local boat owners could have handled the whole thing, if only government bureaucrats would get out of their way.

To be fair to Jindal, what he was saying was that local boat owners could have handled the whole thing, if only government bureaucrats would get out of their way. Oddly, he didn’t mention a more famous government intervention: white police blocking the Crescent City Connection bridge, keeping black residents inside New Orleans. I wonder why.
