How nice to hear from our favorite demon-exorcisin’ castration fetishist fauxbama of the Republican party! Remember this guy, Bobby Jindal? He didn’t run for chairman of the GOP so we forgot about him for a while, but apparently he is still alive and giving speeches.
The Louisiana governor spoke in North Carolina yesterday after attending a couple of fundraisers and pointed out, reasonably, that debt is a bad thing:
“Our society is so much in debt. We’re not going to solve that by simply creating more debt. Our children and grandchildren are going to have to pay that.”
This is all true, of course, but it was equally true when the former president refused to raise taxes during a war and instead gave everybody massive TAXCUTS TAXCUTS while Democrats wailed about mortgaging our children and grandchildren into eternal slavery to the Chinese. Oh well! Times change!
Anyhoo, what else. He quoted the Bible, of course, and said that greed and corruption were also bad, and encouraged his fellow Republicans to work with President Obama and not be just the “party of no” all the time.
Bobby Jindal combines two sought-after qualities in the GOP. Number one, he obviously meets some baseline intelligence requirement, because he was smart enough to avoid getting tapped by John McCain to be his loser running mate in 2008. He also satisfies the “spooky religious voodoo wingnut” requirement and shows an unhealthy interest in child molesters. These combined assets make him an obvious Presidential contender for 2012, when his only competition in the Republican party will be an android dog-torturer and Sarah Palin.

Perhaps Bobby can use the exorcism skills on the Congress GOP Rats?
Out out damn Boehner!
Oh, Bobby Jindal…
I hate you so much.
I love how this middling and bullshit critique of the economic system didn’t come out when GWB and his minions fucking us all over for the last eight years. Suck a big blue dick, Jindal.
What’s his position on give-a-penny-take-a-penny cups?
“He quoted the Bible, of course, and said that greed and corruption were also bad…”
This man is going NOWHERE in the republican party. OK, maybe vice president. Palin / Jindal 2012?
Good ol’ conservative champions against waste (unless you count unilateral invasions, fuel economy or executive compensation). Jindal is the living political manifestation of the old saw: “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”
Did the Republicans spend the past eight years wrecking the economy just so the could complain about it? Could it really be that simple?
I’m sure it says something different in the White Mans’s Bible.
Debt is bad, corruption is bad, demon possession is bad … what a killjoy
Y’know, Barry just needs one of his “Enough!” moments; “Fine, y’all, I’ll just direct the unemployment and foodstamp offices to start issuing tax cuts instead of benefits”.
Pitchforks away!
Piyush “Bobby” Jindal also meets the faddish ‘goofy first name’ criteria.
I guess Jindal is counting on the Tax Cuts(tm) and the Rapture(tm) to make it all better. Yeah, Jindal can suck a dog boner.
Good ole Jindal. Cut funding to the University of New Orleans, and now the unemployed professors are hobos competing with gutter-punks for squat space or hanging around outside of Lowes hoping that someone from New York will pay them five dollars an hour to slap primer on their new soon-to-be overpriced rental property. And that’s all well and good because public universities are for peasants, anyway. If you can’t get into (or afford) Tulane, you get to wash dishes in the French Quarter, if you’re lucky.
Hmm. Not convinced.
Wingnutty Catholics are just kinda ‘meh’ compared to the wingnuttier Protestant and independent christian sects. I don’t think he’s ever going to get past the whole being-brown thing to become the leader of those 18% Bush approvers. Besides, they seem to already be in love with Palin, and the argument that Jindal is actually sorta smart already makes him suspect with this crowd.
The crowd in North Carolina was disappointed that he failed to hand out free Slurpees.
[re=236749]magic titty[/re]: … minions *were* fucking …
Verily I saith unto you, god is a capitalist.
He saith tax cuts be for the wealthy only.
Sinners can sink in their sinful debt.
“Our culture is crucial to our success as a nation.” The South haz kulture?
Jindal is an opportunist with no real agenda other than furthering his own goals of national office (I suspect without being elected to one. He will most likely ride the coat tails of the failed Repubs until he manages to get a nomination for HHS secretary in, oh, about 2022). His current chances of being reelected in LA are waning by the day, which is why he is out trying to get some of the Lear Jet sales money that is floating around on the right. Piyush is only out for himself.
Where the hell are the semi-smart/sane/literate Republicans? I mean, I know they’re a few out there: Sanford, Crist, Pawlenty even Jeb. I know Walnuts cock-teased the first three but, Jesus, quit your damn pouting & come out of hiding already. It’d be nice to know the Republican party didn’t share one brain.
Yeah, Palin just has to spend the next four years reading Encyclopedia Brittanicas so as to impress the helmet-wearing ‘undecideds’, and she’ll have as good a chance as any other kind of GOPer operating under the same code (god/country). Plus she’s got a retarded kid, so there’s really nothing to speculate.
Ahem. Part of that debt was targeted to prevent New Orleans from becoming a spillway again, numbnuts.
[re=236751]masterdebater[/re]:
No kidding. Know your audience, young ghostbuster. I’m pretty sure that in GOP circles you are supposed to drown out all Bible quotes about the evils of greed with loud talk about stoning homos.
[re=236756]Mr Blifil[/re]: “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”
Ha! WIN. Flush Piyush down the toilet. That’ll learn him to be ashamed of his heritage.
“Mommy, Daddy, I love the Brady Bunch. Will you call me Bobby from now on? Also, I’m joining the Catholic church. Your strange foreign ways embarrass me. And I have political ambitions. Also.”
“Country above self,” eh? Now where have I heard that before?
Between Jindal and Vitter, I need to find a new state to live.
If Jindal has anything like the intelligence I suspect he has, he will steer clear of this clusterfuck in 2012, and wait till 2016.
[re=236776]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Maybe the sane conservatives need a bailout. Reanimate Buckley! Get George Will an acceptable tie and haircut!
[re=236773]S.Luggo[/re]: Southern culture:
1. Women are property and only have the “rights” white men choose to give them.
2. Ditto with the coloreds.
3. Mountain Dew and snuff are awesome together.
4. TruckNutz on every bumper!
5. We hate unions, ’cause…well, we don’t know why we hate ‘em, because union employees seem to have better pay and benefits. But still, we hate ‘em!
6. Cities are evil, cuz the coloreds all live there, and they have unions, and some woman in a 7/11 near Houston didn’t say “Howdy!’ to me when I bought a Big Gulp.
[re=236776]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Our Fair governor is not know for his smarts. Not sure if it is from tanning bed radiation damage OR mantan pill toxicity. We voted for him becuase he was prettier than the other guy.
Who knew Brown was such an evangelical madrasa?
[re=236756]Mr Blifil[/re]: Jindal is the living political manifestation of the old saw: “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.”
About as funny as that “Barack the Magic Negro” jingle.
And he’s dealing with Louisiana’s $2 billion budget shortfall for FY 2009 by cutting healthcare where, due to 3:1 federal matching funds, a state cut of $381 million leads to an overall loss of more than $1 billion for the old and poor. I’m sure there’s an apt biblical citation to justify that policy.

Woo! Debt is bad, huh? Too bad we didn’t all go to Brown and Oxford. If we did, we might all be able to cut straight to the heart of the issue like dear old Bobby-boy. Christ, I can believe I went to the same high school as this tool-bag.
…I can just imagine the GOP debates in 2012:
-Sarah Palin
-Bobby Jindal
-Mittens
-Michael Steele?
-Mike Fuckabee
By the end of the day, that stage will look bloodier than the floor of a 3rd wold abortion clinic.
He may be a jerk but he was pretty good as that “Everybody Loves Raymond” guy.
He forgot to mention that if you invested your money in the stock market you would be in fact gambling which is a worse sin than being in debt.
[re=236802]jagorev[/re]: I never intended to malign the poor nice young Catholic person.

[re=236794]IslandGirlFL[/re]: Compared to Palin, Huckabee, DeMint, McConnell, Cornyn, Coburn etc. Charlie Crist comes across as Albert fucking Einstein.
OK, but I want to say, all snidery aside, that New Oxford Review article (exorcism, spouting obscenities, brandished crucifixes… you know) should disqualify “Bobby” from ever holding any office of any authority higher than operating a french fry computer. He is a total flakebot wingnut!
[re=236821]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Healthcare and higher ed! (Sometimes they’re even combined–LSU says they’ll have to close at least one of their satellite ERs around the state.) Because the 4 gazillion constitutional amendments protect everything but those two from budget cuts. Genius, truly.
I would be willing to trade him for Blogo and throw in a sack of oysters to sweeten the deal.
[re=236769]Cape Clod[/re]: OMG, I just thought of a reason to want Jindal to run–Indian jokes! Between him and the snowbilly, that would be a comedic field day (and a guaranteed elephant slaughter).
Palin/Jindal 2012!
Last week he was making jokes about chemical castration in public…no shame.
Hey, Lincoln Chafee went to Brown!
