What's up with the dueling transcripts? (Jindal - CNN and Faux)
I was Googling for a transcript of Jindal's speech, because I wanted to see exactly what he said about that Katrina thing.

I found it on CNN, with the Katrina story:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/24/sotn.jindal.transcript/

But when I Googled again, wanting to look at the quote again and having closed the CNN transcript, I accidentally clicked on the Faux transcript, which was at the top.

Uh, it's not even the same speech, except in a few spots. It doesn't have the Katrina story at all.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/25/transcript-gov-jindals-gop-response-obama-address/

What's up with that? Is it an earlier draft that Jindal later changed? Or what? And why do they still have it up when it's obviously wrong? (Well, I guess the answer to that is that they'd like to forget that Jindal made a fool of himself.... ;) )

4. It looks like FOX' cut out the top-half of the speech.
Everything is there in the CNN transcript but only after the 13th paragraph.

I don't know, maybe they f'd up copying it or there is supposed to be a 1st page on the FOX one?
