I think it's pretty obvious he was trying to deflect blame from himself...why didn't he order the police to evacuate these people, that's certainly not the job of the Feds

Fox News was the only place on TV that I had heard this reported. And that was tonight.

The first time I heard/saw Broussard, I wondered why her son didn't respond to her first phone call, and rush out there to save his mother.

And I never saw his "colleague". It would have been nice to question him.

When he said this:

I'm in, emergency management, he's responsible for everything.

How would the head of emergency management in such a big parish not be able to commandeer something to save his mom? And if she were in such dire straights, how did she have access to a phone?

But in Mr. Broussards defense, he may have been relayed the story and misunderstood it. He seemed like a pretty stand up guy in every interview I happened to catch.
