He could not have been so cock-sure of himself that he didn’t expect off-the-wall questions generated by his pandering!! WHAT A MAROON!! PIYUSH for DOG-CATCHER!

The expression on Jindal’s face in that photo makes him look like Ed Norton in "The “Honeymooners” series when he says to Ralph Kramden “Hey, hey, hey, way to go there, Ralphie boy!” Priceless!!

It’s amazing how dense these people are.
In 2008, you could acquire a Mitt Romney app. that allowed you to take photos with campaign slogans superimposed. Maxaroo was delighted to pose for one.

What’s scary is, every one of those questions from Twitter cited in the article is more politically deft, more cogent and more substantive than anything Jindal has said while in office.

I’ve got a Vietnamese-American buddy in Dallas who goes by Bobby as well. It’s better (?) than his real first name: Hung.

He isn’t even really book smart…he’s got know concept of just how awful his ideas are and doesn’t care how badly he’s destroyed his state.

What’s disgusting is, every one of those questions from Twitter cited in the article is more politically deft, more cogent and more substantive than anything Jindal has been asked by any MSM “journalist.”

Really… I get the thaat a smart guy say stupid things to pander to his idiot base, but in this case it’s really a matter outright ineptness.

This ask Bobby thingy is a perfect example of the Dope-ler effect : “Stupid ideas look smarter when approaching you at high speed than when receding”.

You would expect a Rhodes Scholar to be able to discern those things.

If any of these were asked of Bobby during a press conference–one after the other–how long would it be before stories started circulating on “why don’t millenials take political candidates seriously?”

Bobby, which amendment or where in the constitution does ‘Christianity’ supersede all of the other laws and all of the other religions specifically?

Jindal is in a dog sled race with Christie and Trump to see who is the biggest loser, that is all. There is no win to be had for them and degrading themselves even further on a bigger stage is the only accomplishment that can be gained from national exposure.

Dear Governor Jindal,

Your days as governor are numbered and your less-than-one-percent polling in the presidential stakes pretty much rules that out. Outside of a short-term gig at FOX News, what realistic job possibilities exist for you?

Governor, your staffers have figured out that your campaign is in a howdah to hell and they are just fucking with you now. Hire me.
