This PBJ re-telling of the Harry Lee story has been highlight by Josh Marshall over at Talking Points Memo as another instance where Governor PBJ puts himself right in the middle of the story, not, as his aides claimed, hearing Lee recounting the story to another person on the phone in PBJ's presence. In light of all this, it is only natural to wonder if Governor PBJ embellished/lied about his role in getting Ford to donate some trucks to the relief effort:
To make it clear, Governor PBJ is claiming that he personally convinced Ford to donate 50 trucks to the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in St. Bernard Parish. Anyone out there to corroborate this? If so, scroll down to the bottom of the page for my contact information, or simply post a reply!
