TPMMuckraker | Talking Points Memo | Jindal Admits Katrina Story Was False

When I first read this I thought, that's the end of Jindal's run with the GOP. But then again, It makes him that much more of a hero as the GOP loves a good liar. His points just went up.



TPMMuckraker Talking Points Memo Jindal Admits Katrina Story Was False: "This is no minor difference. Jindal's presence in Lee's office during the crisis itself was a key element of the story's intended appeal, putting him at the center of the action during the maelstrom. Just as important, Jindal implied that his support for the sheriff helped ensure the rescue went ahead. But it turns out Jindal wasn't there at the key moment, and played no role in making the rescue happen."
