Most of the worst stuff Jindal’s done lately has flown under the radar, so here’s a primer for those of you who haven’t paid much attention to the Louisiana pol since 2009, when he blew his State of the Union response by reminding everyone of “30 Rock’s” Kenneth. While Jindal still hasn’t formally announced his intention to run for president — and hasn’t even launched the pro forma exploratory committee, either — his desire to live at 1600 remains one of Louisiana’s “worst-kept” secrets.Jindal flies under the radar only if you don't live in Louisiana. We are a backwater, and the national press doesn't pay much attention. With the assistance of a compliant legislature, the governor has plundered the state, destroying institutions and programs and leaving destruction in his path that will take years to rebuild, if the will is ever here to do so.
Worst governor ever and a man with so little awareness of the world outside his circle of sychophantic followers that he doesn't appear to know that his pathetic lust for the presidency, at the cost of the people in Louisiana, has zero chance of becoming reality.
I sincerely hope that especially at the national level people consider that this is the man that single handedly decimated a charity hospital system, gutted the states public flagship universities, that Louisiana still leads the world in incarceration, has not been removed from any bad lists (education, wages, health, crime) take your pick, and finally is a whole lot broker than we were when he started. I personally do not see how he could come off as anything but a fool but then again he is a two term governor so it appears that he can package and sell his corrupt pathetic lustful obscene obsession as good as anyone else. I however refuse to buy it.
ReplyDeleteYou and me, Dale. Also, Jindal could not have wrecked institutions and programs in Louisiana without a compliant legislature.
