Louisiana Governor Piyush "Bobby" Jindal is back on the Shiitake Awards radar. He won the Worst politico of 2008 and won notoriety for his "Monsters" speech. He's the Alfred E. Newman of the Political world. After all, he once claimed to have exorcised a demon. I seriously doubt a career politician can exorcise demons, lest they exorcise themselves out of office. He should be thanking the demons that got him re-elected instead.
I can't understand how a man like Jindal can get re-elected. Then again, we're talking about the only state as stupid as Florida. At any rate, Jindal is livid over a federal court decision that struck down a pet project of his-- banning former offenders from using social networking sites.U.S. District Judge Brian Jackson ruled Thursday that the prohibition -- which took effect in August -- was too broad and infringed on constitutionally protected speech.. Jindal's response? "It’s offensive that the court would rule that the rights of sex predators are more important than the rights of innocent children. As the father of three young kids, I will do everything in our power to protect Louisiana families and that includes appealing to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and bringing legislation this upcoming session to fortify and strengthen the law.". Actually, it is offensive to assume the US Constitutional is not as important as your political campaign. No one wants that snake oil you are buying, Bobby Jindal.

I love it. Especially the photos. :)
ReplyDeleteThe photos were already online. It seems Jindal is not quite as popular as some would have you believe.
