If it wasn't bad enough that Gov. Jindal got an "F" from both Republicans and Democrats for his style points the other night in his post-Obama Joint Session speech to Congress response (and I am being very kind), it turns out he has a problem with reinventing history.
Editor's Note: Even worse than admitting the story he told us all in the speech was false, Governor PBJ can't even admit it to us himself. He's left it to his Chief of Staff Timmy Teepell and Communications Director Melissa Sellers to clean up the mess he made. Oyster has nailed down yet another problem:
[Jindal spokeswoman Melissa Sellers] said the story Jindal told in his response to Obama actually took place some days later in Lee's office -- though still in Katrina's chaotic aftermath -- as Lee was "recounting" his frustrations with the bureaucracy to someone else on the telephone.
Indeed. But if Jindal was witnessing Sheriff Lee "recount" the story a week later, why would Jindal quote Lee as saying:
"before I knew it, [Lee] was yelling into the phone: 'Congressman Jindal is here, and he says you can come and arrest him too!'
