A "misunderstanding"?

Like the time I ran over that Chinaman with my car, and dragged him underneath for seventeen miles while I did my shopping, dry cleaning, and stopped at Checker's for a burger? Is this like that kind of "misunderstanding"?

Or am I missing something here?

Actually, if you watch the video, Broussard was reading from prepared notes, so at the very least he took the time to write down the details regarding this particular "misunderstanding."

"This was no boating accident."

There's no way this was a misunderstanding. I fully believe that this was an attempt by Broussard to make the Feds look bad and directly blame them for a death. There is no question in my mind about that.

MSNBC Hyperlink to story: "Story of calls from nursing home not true"

Slugline: "An emotional moment and a misunderstanding"

They got it 50% right. If they change the slug, it'll be 100%.

Misunderstanding? Yeah, somebody warned Broussard "you know, they might figure out she died on Monday instead of Friday"

and he misunderstood.

How dare you attack this man? He was emotional! He was CRYING!

Criers are allowed to tell lies. Just ask Cindy Sheehan.

There was a commenter on Balloon Juice who mentioned this on the day the Times article came out. I knew it was a crock because the crying guy was a LA dem and being investigated by the feds. It smelled like "agenda" to me.

Once I had a misunderstanding with a girl who was dating a guy I had dated. He was a charmer, but a SNAKE. So I left a message on his answering machine when I knew she and he were in the apartment and would hear it, about some of the things he had done with his mean self.

It was a complete misunderstanding.

RWS,

Do I detect the wafe of a plot line from "Three's Company"?

Just goes to show that the media shows far too much deference to emotional people.

Who cares if they're telling the truth? They make for great television.

Ode to Aaron Broussard

Oh, Aaron Broussard
Crying like a little girl
Covering your lies

Now shut the fuck up
You miserable bastard
And quit your whining

Admit that you lied
Your story was total bull
For the media

You fucking asshole
Lying about your friend's mom
How low can you get?

Wait, don't answer that
I don't really want to know
You little sissy

Did anyone actually see any tears? His lame attempted emotional breakdown was on par with that of Susan Smith who drowned her own kids and then blamed it on a carjacker. And the Ramseys, who never seemed to shed any "real" tears over their little girls death.
