Update

Just wanted to note for the record that the two local television stations with news departments (ABC and CBS affiliates) are running a clip of Aaron Broussard's statement on MTP this morning--however, it's highly edited, and focuses on his dramatic account of the death of his building manager's mother. The clip uses Broussard saying "beauracracy committed murder," but omits the particular statements about FEMA, or more general statements about government leadership--as well as specific praise for Gov. Blanco.

I'll also take back my comment about Russert patronizing. Broussard was clearly shook up--badly--and Timbo's tone sounds compassionate.
