We can see that Bobby Jindal likes to talk as though his audience were all preschoolers and wear ties he borrowed from Bozo the Clown, but did Bobby Jindal make up a story? Seems like it.
Tuesday night's speech to congress had the man who would be president calling himself a hero, insisting that boats be allowed to rescue people of New Orleans stranded on rooftops; standing firm when some nasty ol' gummint bureaucrat was telling the sheriff that boats without proof of insurance would have to stay home. Only problem is, says Talking Points Memo -- he wasn't in the sheriff's office -- he may not even have been in New Orleans and the sheriff didn't know about the policy until weeks later.
Seems his only course of action may be to insist, like Sarah Palin, that she really did say "thanks but no thanks" and really did sell the state jet on eBay when she didn't and blame it all on the Liberal Media. Good luck to the both of them.
This tactic has worked for Republicans a long time. Never let the truth stand in the way of a good lie.
ReplyDeleteSomeone in his office already backtracked. Stating that he had overheard Lee (Mr. Racial Profiler) tell the story to someone.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Fox isn't being all that kind to Bobby, I doubt they're going to let you decide by telling you the whole story. There must be some way it's the Liberals' fault.
ReplyDeleteHey, did you know I can leap tall buildings with a single bound? Well, OK, so I can't. I did see a Superman movie once though.
I must be getting old, but I just can't think much of a politician who's in his thirties and apparently believes he ought to be president or even the leader of his or her party. Sorry, tradition (tho' not the Constitution, to be fair) has it that you've got to be at least forty-something to harbor such delusions of omniscient grandeur.
ReplyDeleteJindal's response is a gift that keeps on giving.
