Bobby Jindal Almost Done With Totally Ruining Louisiana Forever

by Riley Waggaman  2:15 pm July 22, 2010

  • The entire Western Hemisphere is unemployed but surprise surprise, the U.S. Senate is too busy playing grab-ass with hott celebs to even feign interest. [The Caucus]
  • Matt published super-private emails sent to him by Jonathan Strong, of Daily Caller JournoList muckraking fame. And now everyone knows Jonathan Strong’s secret phone number, so dial those digits and ask him out on a date. [Matt Yglesias]
  • Bobby Jindal insists that Louisiana does not need BP’s money. Uh, it does, Bobby. It really does. [RedState]
  • In other Louisiana news: Catholic bishops insist that Louisianians do not need to bring their guns up to the altar when receiving Holy Communion. Uh, they do, Catholic bishops. They really do. [Think Progress]
  • LeBron James decided to play sports with the Miami Heat because H&R Block told him he would save a whole bunch on state and local taxes by moving to Florida. [Weekly Standard]

How does one render that godawful nasal braying in text, anyway? You know, the Blanche Lincoln stump speech?

Texan Bulldoggette July 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm

Wow, Bobby Jindal really doesn’t want to stay in office, does he?

Neilist July 22, 2010 at 2:32 pm

[Is it time, once again, for another stanza or so of Neilist's Continuing Epic Poem . . . .]

Jindal DINN!

Young Bobby had no truck, with BP’s oily muck
Not even for the dot upon his forehead
Though a Hindee through-and-through, even he refused the goo
Offered up upon a curry, or on some dollars

“Louisana’s doing fine!,” Bobby J. did so opine
While dishing out Pelican A La Tandor-i.
“Our gumbo’s so refined, it’s an octane rather high
It’s just perfect for inflaming wives by sut-tee.”

JINDAL, JINDAL, JINDAL, What the HELL you doing NOW?
Your wives are BP flamers! Did the Living God that made ya
Plan a funeral pyre around your resignation?

Will no one in Louisiana rid me of these meddlesome priests?

I love these conservatives writing about how LeBron James, were he to have made his decision based on the tax rates in the various states he could move to, would have made the right decision by going to Miami — thus this is a win for the policy of low state taxes. But wait — if Florida’s taxes had nothing to do with his decision, how does this demonstrate the success of this policy? And maybe if they increased their tax rates, there would be fewer hurricanes, because hurricanes come to Florida too — presumably giving its tax rates the same consideration that James did. It might also be a win for Florida’s laws protecting manatees by making boats go slower — I’m sure LeBron considered that, too. Come on, Weakly Standard — let’s hear it for environmental sensitivity creating jobs! Hmmm, nothing. Maybe they’re out buying party hats or something.

Bobbie! He’s our man of “noes”.

Haha.

Typical Weakly Substandard. Never considered that LeBron the Self Involved might like the Hoochie mamas that live on South Beach.

AP – Armed Louisiana Parishioners Hold Priest Hostage, Tell God “Forgive me my incenstuous transgression, or the padre gets it! And send better-tasting Son-Crackers!!”

How dare Matt refer to Palin as history’s worse VP pick! She was the second worse; he forgets Tom Eagleton.

Yeah, Standard, tax rates are the only reason to prefer living in Miami to fucking Cleveland.

RedState’s vladimir should know that repeating a right-wing talking point and attacking the Democratic President is not a bipartisan a message, in fact it is partisan, the very opposite.

hockeymom July 22, 2010 at 2:52 pm

[re=623462]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Or that someone on his former team may be involved with LeBron’s own mama.

Apparently the Weekly Standard never heard of “The Jock Tax.” Over 40 states tax profesional athletes for the income they earn playing games in their respective states (thank you Michael Jordan for being so famous and so well paid the states thought this one up!).

Now, his endorsement monies would be a different deal – but his “game earnings” will be distributed among the various states where he plays. After all, 50% of his games are on the road.

Tundra Grifter July 22, 2010 at 2:56 pm

[re=623469]JMP[/re]: To the best of my knowledge, the Atlantic Ocean off Miami Beach has never caught on fire.

Although, if this oil spill thing keeps going…

Canmon (the Inadequate) July 22, 2010 at 2:57 pm

I believe that NBA players pay their taxes based on the location that they earn their pay. So, a Miami heat player will pay taxes on half his income in Florida. Actually, just over half because of the games he plays in Orlando. The income earned on road games will be taxable in that state. The money he is saving in taxes is not enough to offset the lower amount he took for playing in Miami over Cleveland. This makes Lebron a socialist.

I’ve got to say, a Catholic Church is actually one of the few public places I really see a need to bring a firearm into.

WhatTheHeck July 22, 2010 at 3:01 pm

We don’t need no stinkin govmint bail-out money.
We don’t need no stinkin BP oil money.
we can just live on guns n bibles. It’s what the lord intended. Jesus said the poor we shall always have with us. And damnit, that’s what we’re gonna have.

[re=623462]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Or he has a thing for the little old widows at the nearby retirement communities.

Bobby Jindal, the South Asian Tim Pawlenty.

[re=623462]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Tax-free Hoochie-mamas, he’ll have you know.
[re=623480]JMP[/re]: Only the Orthodox ones. (He’s funny that way.)

Well, now we know that Mr. Prevor knows absolutely nothing about sports, but does a pretty good imitation of a parrot trained to talk like Milton Friedman.

GOPCrusher July 22, 2010 at 4:52 pm

Maybe Piyush should ask the people of Louisiana, before he goes around telling BP “Thanks, but no thanks”.

Enslave the Whales July 22, 2010 at 6:46 pm

[re=623469]JMP[/re]: You seriously think Eagleton was worse than Palin? Shit, man, he had therapy.

BarackMyWorld July 23, 2010 at 6:23 am

Louisiana doesn’t want BP’s money, but they want to work….because they work for free? Because work is its own reward? Because Lousiana’s economy’s been wrecked by BP, but people would rather go back to helping make oil companies richer than hold the guilty party responsible?

2Big2Fail July 24, 2010 at 7:26 am

Bobby. Louisianans don’t want your fucking curry either. But somehow you shit feed it to them daily.
