Representatives of Governor Jindal admitted today that the Katrina rescue story that he told during his response to President Barack Obama’s Congressional address last Tuesday was false.  Apparently, Jindal overheard Sheriff Lee telling the story about trying to rescue victims of Katrina and being prevented by “some government bureaucrat” to a reporter and Jindal commandeered the story and inserted himself into the fact pattern even though he was over 75 miles away from the scene at the time the event occurred.  Another tidbit, turns out that the guy Jindal has chosen to be the hero of his shakespearean tale is not exactly made up of hero material.  Sheriff Harry Lee was accused of preventing black folks from crossing the bridge to safety based purely on the fact that they didn’t meet the demographic of  Jefferson parish which is a community not exactly known for its diversity.  See Sheriff Lee in all his glory below.
