Bobby Jindal Is a LIAR

I watched the Republican rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the State (was that what it was called?) the other night and thought he came out with some good points (Government spends too much, Government thinks we’re idiots, Government is the problem, etc.), but then it got ridiculous.

There was a childlike quality to Jindal’s speech and at times I couldn’t tell if he was trying to talk to children or if he was the child himself.

I mean, it seemed like he thinks the American people are too simple to listen to intelligent debate, and in some cases I think he’s right. I often think we, as a society, are simply idiots.

But Jindal’s speech was over the top. Now, I find out, one of the most compelling points to the idiots in the crowd, the part about his sheriff yelling at a federal bureaucrat over the phone during the Katrina episode, was – get this –

MADE UP


FABRICATION


DIDN’T HAPPEN

Gotta love politicians! They make shit up all the time and expect us simpletons to believe it. They’re more crass than preachers in the tent.

From TPMMuckraker:

Remember that story Bobby Jindal told in his big speech Tuesday night — about how during Katrina, he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with a local sheriff who was battling government red tape to try to rescue stranded victims?

Turns out it wasn’t actually, you know, true.

John McCain — Smart Enough to Steal Barack’s Thunder? No. But Maybe Lucky Enough.

BREAKING: McCain Picks a Hottie Sorry George!

Speculation is that John McCain’s camp will out his choice for VP tomorrow in order to steal Barack Obama’s thunder. McCain’s camp isn’t that smart.

But they may be that lucky. They’ll only think to do something like that because everybody and their mother is talking about it.

Who will the Veep be? I don’t know who it will be, but I know who it won’t be. It won’t be Joe Lieberman, the Republican in Dem’s clothing. No, there will be no second chance at VP for Lieberman (the first time around turned out so damned well for his running mate).

It probably won’t be Bobby Jindal, either. He’s too ethnic for the Repubs, if you know what I mean (to spell it out: He’s not white). Plus, even though he’s Catholic, nobody will believe it. Especially Catholics.

Besides, he’s highly qualified, super-smart, and holds traditional conservative values (not to be confused with my conservative values). His youth counter-balances McCain’s Moses-like age, too.

All those things considered, he’s just too damned good to be VP for the Republicans. He’s 180 degrees apart from McCain on a lot of things.

I’m predicting he chooses George W. Bush as his VP. After all, it’s total nonsense, which is what John McCain is all about. On paper, Bush is a shoe-in. In his current job, he plays second fiddle to Dick Cheney, he’s about as dumb as Dan Quayle, and he’s been a miserable failure his entire life. All perfect qualifications for a vice president.

As you know now, McBain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate . Here are some highlights: She has kids, one with Down’s. She is a lifetime member of the NRA, and she is a former beauty contestant (no kidding).
