There's a whole host of evidence that Bobby Jindal's story about Katrina from his truly disastrous SOTU rebuttal was, shall we say, fabricated. Ben Smith reports Jindal is walking it back:
A spokeswoman for Bobby Jindal now says the Louisiana governor didn't intend to imply that an anecdote about battling bureaucrats "during Katrina" actually took place during the heat of the rescue effort or directly involved the governor, then a member of Congress.
The spokeswoman, Melissa Sellers, said the story Jindal told in his response to Obama actually took place some days later in Lee's office, as Lee was recounting his frustrations with the bureaucracy to someone else on the telephone.
