I want to give you one last story and I’ll shut up and let you tell me whatever you want to tell me. The guy who runs this building I’m in, Emergency Management, he’s responsible for everything. His mother was trapped in St. Bernard nursing home and every day she called him and said, “Are you coming, son? Is somebody coming?” and he said, “Yeah, Mama, somebody’s coming to get you.” "Somebody’s coming to get you" on Tuesday. "Somebody’s coming to get you" on Wednesday. "Somebody’s coming to get you" on Thursday. "Somebody’s coming to get you" on Friday. And she drowned Friday night. She drowned Friday night! [Sobbing] Nobody’s coming to get us. Nobody’s coming to get us. The Secretary has promised. Everybody’s promised. They’ve had press conferences. I’m sick of the press conferences. For god’s sakes, just shut up and send us somebody.
-- Aaron Broussard, President, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, on NBC's Meet the Press
What didn't go right?
-- George W. Bush, US President (Ret.), to Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Minority Leader
If that second quote isn't perfidious, I don't know what is.
