Bobby - can we also stop flights from Louisiana to other parts of the country in the event that any disease-carrying, half-brained criminals might try to find their way out and infect us all?!

Damned near every day, and in so many ways, Bobby Jindal is one of the most annoying people in American politics today. No sane country would place a microphone within 50 feet of this man, but this is America, alas, and the press is always happy to publicize every offensively stupid thing he says.

Except the guy flew in from Brussels, which is still in Belgium as far as I’m aware.

Bobby then on went to say, “Because, you know, I have heard that people who have American passports and are in ISIS[L], might, you know, want to get themselves infected with the Ebola and bring it here to America. And that is what we all need to be super freaked out about: ISIS Ebola.”

What about anyone flying from affect countries to London, or Paris, and then to the US? Should we stop flights from Europe?

And, in fact, our one infected visitor from Africa came on a flight from Belgium.

Booby doesn’t understand the idea of connecting flights.

Jindal should probably check the airline schedules.
There are no commercial flights to the United States from the countries highly impacted by Ebola - Liberia, Sierra Leone, or Guinea.
The only way to fly to the US from those countries is to connect to other international flights in Europe or hubs in Africa (Accra, Lagos, Dakar, or Johannesburg).
So his “solution” has already been been implemented.

Like THAT will stop Ebola from getting here?? How IGNORANT! They’ll find a way to get here like going through another country 1st! The guy who brought Ebola to Dallas CLAIMED he had NOT been in contact w/ any sick people BECAUSE he wanted to come to the US.

Perhaps Piyush can tell us which airlines have nonstop flights from West Africa. Didn’t those stop with the demise of Pan American?

“We should stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola stricken.”
Like Texas?

“We should stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola-stricken.”
Remind me again - in what country is Dallas?

That means that we have to stop accepting flights from anywhere in the US since we have at least 1 documented case right, right, right! Right Bobby? Hey where are you going Bobby? Bobby!!!
