“…you need to go back to the Ben Smith reference and read the update. You might also want to review the video at the end of the update.

Then, of course, you will come back and apologize to Cassie, right?”

Why, exactly, would I apologize to Cassy? Nothing in either the Politico update or the Lee video do anything to support Jindal’s version of events.

Jindal’s chief of staff Teepell says he heard Sheriff Lee yelling into the phone. Yes? So? What was Lee yelling about? Teepell is conveniently vague on that point.

Listen to what Sheriff Lee says in the video. Actually listen — don’t just look at the pretty pictures. Does Sheriff Lee mention trying to put boats in the water to rescue people from their rooftops? Nope. Does he mention yelling into any phones? Nope. Does he mention bureaucrats or insurance or registration? Nope. It’s a generic stump speech, nothing more.

Jindal’s story doesn’t hold up against the facts — against what Sheriff Lee himself has said. Bobby Jindal is a liar.

No wonder Cassy is so enamored of him.

Wow, a liberal calling someone else a liar. I…I’m…I’m speechless. Just…wow. I don’t know what to say.

Meathead, oops Meatbrain (both are perfect identifiers), you need to go back to the Ben Smith reference and read the update. You might also want to review the video at the end of the update.

Then, of course, you will come back and apologize to Cassie, right?

Unfortunately, it is Cassy Fiano who has no grasp of the facts. Jindal's story has him in Sheriff Lee's office at the very moment that Lee was yelling into the phone about boats and insurance and bureaucrats. We know now that this is not true, because Jindal's own office has admitted that it is not true. They have released a statement that Jindal was, in fact, not in Sheriff Lee's office at the time that Lee was allegedly yelling into the phone. And Sheriff Lee, in an interview given before his death, told Larry King that he didn't learn about the alleged insurance snafu until a week later: "Those boats where not allowed to get into the water when they were needed and I just found out about seven days later one of the reason boats couldn't get in was they didn't have enough life preservers and some of them didn't have proof of insurance." So the whole "yelling into the phone" shtick falls apart. The facts show that Bobby Jindal is, indeed, a liar. It is to be expected that Cassy Fiano and her fellow wingnuts will once again ignore the facts. That's what they do.

These guys are already so used to Obama giving a press conference every time he goes potty by himself. They can’t fathom the idea that Jindal might actually have done it not to help his political aspirations, but because it was the right thing to do.

Fred Thompson came on C2.0 at about 1:00, and gently told the Jindal critics to talk to the hand at one point:

Great post! Lets hope the chattering idiots up in DC and NYC will see this. Unlikely. But definitely worth shoving down their throats.

I never thought I’d see a coonass Asian-Cajun… but I guess that’s as unbelievable as a Indian-Cajun.

And they call us the racists? Great post, one to keep and spread!
