Jindal Caves, Denies Fat Cat Legislators Their Precious Raise

Sellout.Rather than risk the wrath of the all-powerful Fourniers, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal vetoed a bill to double the salaries of state legislators. As a result, the state will have literally hundreds more dollars to spend on ball-withering chemicals and maps of the planet Earth showing Adam and Eve riding dinosaurs in Spain. [Times-Picayune]

    The suspense was killing me! Fortunately there are plenty of other things to laugh at Jindal for. Like his demonic-possession-based sex life.

    Dream ticket ‘08:

    McCain & Jindal/Strom Thurmond’s resurrected (and subsequently exorcised) corpse.

    YES WE CAN!

    ronaldpagan: OH YA! He’s Catholic, right?

    Jindal is Jeebus Mansack. Finally, vetoes we can count on!

    Louisiana’s bribery industry has been saved. Thank God that Bobby Jindal stood up for traditional Louisiana values.

    Ball-Withering. Outstanding.

  7. Texan Bulldoggette says at 2:41 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Well, well, well. Looks like he & Mittens will have to mud wrestle for that coveted Veep slot on McMaverick’s ticket. Either way, it’s a win-win; imagine discussing magic underwear & exorcism for the next 5 months. Woo hoo!

  8. You know, in a way I do feel for Jindal. Can you imagine how many times he’s had to explain just what sort of brown skinned fella he is?

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 2:43 pm, June 30th, 2008

    He’s a complicated man — rather than keep his first promise, he’d rather break that and his promise to break his first promise. I guess that makes him Kennedyesque in the sense that he vetoed this bill not because it was easy, but because it was hard.

    Louisiana is in play this go round, a ball wither state in ‘08.

  11. I’m sure in that in other areas of incompetence he shall not be found wanting when called.

  12. weirdiowasculpture says at 2:59 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Jindal would bring McCain the Macaca vote. However, I think McCain already has the withered ball vote sewn up.

    Good job, M. Night! This twist was definitely less predictable than the Village.

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:59 pm, June 30th, 2008

    …are sure he hasn’t be castrated? Because this guy has absolutely NO BALLS! *Rim-Shot*

    What Would Carlos Marcello Do?…

    Jindals ass is now gator-bait…

  16. weirdiowasculpture says at 3:06 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Hey, does everybody here know that “Bobby” is not his real name? He got it from Bobby Brady on the Brady Bunch when he was a kid. His real name is “Piyush,” which is Macaca for “Adoph Hussein Hitler.”

    I wanna commnt about GANJA QUEEN! Damn it! Oh. I can?

  18. Combover says at 3:11 pm, June 30th, 2008

    wonk_the_heck: friggin’ genius.

    AngryBlakGuy: No no. He finally grew a pair after being threatened with a recall by some seriously pissed Louisianians. Either that or he had a pair grafted on from one of those chemically-enhanced mo-lestors.

    Fucking fatcat crybaby legislators can’t live on 16k a year? Tough titty, said the kitty. Soup line forms on the right.

  21. WadISay says at 3:25 pm, June 30th, 2008

    According to my personal religon (WadISayism), the world was created just before I was born. All that stuff about the Civil War and WW II was made up by Kevin Burns and Tom Brokaw, respectively.

    A-hem.

    I know what you’re thinking.

    Yes, it IS time for the second verse of “Jindal Bob”"

    [Verse The Second]

    The oxford cloth he wore,
    Was sweated to and for,
    And his slacks were of the tanest khaki sheen.
    But he took their money bags
    And tightened up their swag,
    So the “Legislators” died for lack of “Green.”

    They hauled the bucks away,
    To spend another day,
    In the hopes someone would “drill” the “beggar” clean.
    They’ll be lining up in rows,
    Their hands stuck out like ‘hos,
    Collecting cash again in spite of Jindal’s spleen!

    It was “Jindal! Jindal! JINDAL!”
    “What the HELL you doing NOW?”
    “Don’t you know we all have hookers for to pay?”
    “Diapers don’t come cheap, you know,
    And we’ve GOT to buy more blow!”
    Back off, you Little Raghead, juldee[1] dao[2]!

    [1] British Army Hindu slang - “quickly.”

    [2] ” ” - emphatic adverb.

    [And to think Rudyard got the Nobel Prize for this kind of thing. Go figure.]

  23. bitchincamaro: 16k can be very little or a whole freaking lot depending on how long they’re in session.

  24. bitchincamaro says at 3:31 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Neilist: Even the footnotes are hilarious! Presidential Medal of Freedom 4 U!
    Why not? Everybody else has one.

  25. Neilist says at 4:06 pm, June 30th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: The PMOF?

    Pffff!

    I want the Nobel for Literature!

    bitchincamaro: Colin has 2 and Condi zip– Hatin’ on a sista, as usual…

    Our unity reunion was successful… The Skipper finally shook hands with Gilligan, and the professor continues to penetrate Mrs. Howell.

  29. trai_dep says at 9:02 pm, June 30th, 2008

    Considering the ample belly-gut overhang the fine male citizens of Louisiana possess, how do they know they have balls.
    Or feet, for that matter.
    Is it part of the faith-based reality they go on and on about so?

  30. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:10 pm, June 30th, 2008

    trai_dep: Or houses for that matter.

  31. donner_froh says at 12:24 am, July 1st, 2008

    The reason that people run for state office in Lousiana is so they can steal money, collect bribes, get free visits from hookers and other fun stuff. Its like Chicago with alligators.

  32. jasonelias says at 12:54 am, July 1st, 2008

    Ugh, he’s a gross little thing, reminds me of a crazy pharmacist who’d give your mom the wrong pills for “kicks.”
