As I read this wiki entry on January 24, 2006, it contains a section that reads:
Finally all of the Jefferson Parish residents were appalled by Broussard’s performance on MSNBC where a tearful Broussard recounted a tale about the death of the Jefferson Parish Emergency Management’s mother. This story was in fact wrong and contrived with people reporting that Broussard was practing crying before his appearance. Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9179790/
The website linked to is actually just the transcript of the MSNBC appearance. I can provide sources for the allegations that Broussard contrived the story and practiced crying and I stand by this statement as fact.
Why are the links to transcripts on Thinkprogress.org and informationclearinghouse.info necessary? This appears to me to be a ploy by a leftist to get this article linked to a liberal site when it is not necessary.
The MSNBC Link of the transcript is from the original media outlet that Broussard appeared on and should be necessary.
In addition, I find it interesting that Meet the Press did not mention that Broussard is a Liberal Democrat, as documented in Google searches done with his name. (unattributed edit by User:AggieSpirit)
The following was added and subsequently deleted. The link checks out, so it looks factually accurate. Should it be re-added in the interests of balance and fairness?

On Thursday, 8 September 2005, CNN's Newsnight program aired an interview with Tom Rodrigue, the local government official who has been identified as the subject of Broussard's tearful story about the mother dying in the nursing home. Here's the transcript:
I'm going to go ahead and add a brief mention to the main article. -- John Callender 13:37, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
In an attempt to make the article less cute in terms of tap-dancing around the issue of Broussard's honesty, I've modified the editorial comments on the possibility of the mother surviving the Monday flooding, and am now just saying that mainstream media sources have offered no explanation for the apparent discrepancy between Broussard's account and the reporting on the St. Rita's nursing home deaths. I'm not sure what else we could say that would be true to the Wikipedia spirit; if the facts as reported point pretty strongly in one direction (that Broussard was lying for political purposes), but no media sources are actually saying that, I guess it's not appropriate to push that point of view on Wikipedia. But maybe someone else will have a clearer idea of how to address the issue. -- John Callender 22:07, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
For an article supposedly on Aaron Broussard, it is very thin on information about him. For example, when and where was he born? How long has he been President of Jefferson Parish? Did he do anything of note or hold any poltical offices before Katrina? Is there anything like a biography of him on the web? Wondedring, -- Infrogmation 17:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I reversed the edits made by 35.11.147.205 on 2 April 2006, 07:11, primarily because of their non-NPOV, but also because of other significant errors:
I also removed the non-NPOV claim made by 72.150.1.19 on 10 January 2006, 23:04, that Broussard claimed that FEMA would pay for the TP ads "in an attempt to deceive the voters of Jefferson Parish". If the editor has some hidden insight into Broussard's motives, he should provide a citation.

This article appears to be an extremely well-written hatchet job on Aaron Broussard. I came here to read neutral information about him. I have been sorely disappointed. I can only hope that someone comes in and cleans up this mess that it appears a whole host of people have made of it someday. I'm sickened by this.
