Bobby Jindal is an irrelevant little dweeb.

Little Piyush’s dickishness is coming through strong.

Little Piyush’s very short dickishness is coming through strong.

There! Fixed it for you!

johnscotus · August 27, 2015, 5:22pm

WTF is he talking about?!

winfran · August 27, 2015, 5:23pm

I have no patience for right wing nut jobs today. I hope every other sentence in Obama’s speech contains a mention of climate change.

“It would distract from the losses we have suffered”. Way to lead, you bozo, science denying, goober. You are actively advocating against the best interests of your own constituents.

enon · August 27, 2015, 5:24pm

gawd… jindal is such a weaselly little fuck

k_in_va · August 27, 2015, 5:24pm

Yeah, Bobby, let’s make sure we do everything we can to ensure more Louisianans dies from future hurricanes.

berkshire_boy · August 27, 2015, 5:25pm

It makes you realize what trouble Louisiana is in when Edwin Edwards looks good by comparison to this pathetic fool.

Well, that just cost him his place on the wait-list for tickets to the White House tour - the closest the little poop will get to being in the WH.

Eejit.

Actually, Bobby, nobody believes this, and it’s straw-man bullshit. You’re the one here making politics out of this.

What a sad little turd this guy is.

littlegirlblue · August 27, 2015, 5:26pm

Piyush can say please, pretty please with sugar on top, but the president will even more forcefully layout how climate change was at the bottom of the storm. The Mississippi rose, and a republican president fiddled and gave no support to the Democratic governor who was pleading for it, but he did send Brownie to the rescue…

callmeeric · August 27, 2015, 5:27pm

Pro-Tip for below, and soon to be below see level states, with histories of strong storms. Don’t elect science deniers.

Jindal is a funny guy.

Of course, he wrote–and publicly released–this letter in order to give him a defense when he’s criticized by rightwing crazies for sitting up there with Obama while the President speaks about combatting climate change.

And, of course, in asking the President not to “insert” climate change into the speech, and referring to it as a liberal activist political agenda, Jindal is himself inserting politics into the event. And I love the way “economic development” isn’t about politics but “climate change” is.

Like I said, a funny guy, and also pathetic.

ronbyers · August 27, 2015, 5:33pm

He does realize he is considered by many in the GOP to be an irrelevant anchor baby.

ottnott · August 27, 2015, 5:36pm

Man, Jindal is des-per-ate to get his poll numbers back above 1%.

frankly_my_dear · August 27, 2015, 5:39pm

Shorter Jindal: “Please don’t insert any science into your speech. Stick to ignorance and superstition. That’s what people here understand.”
