Gov. Bobby Jindal Watch - Three (cont.)

Following up on the first part of my post No. 3 on Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana's Gold Standards For Ethics For Politicians In Louisiana, in which the governor's main man "forgets" to report a $118.000 campaign contribution from the GOP, which should have been reported last July:

"What Jindal Saith and What He Doth"

From James Gill at the Times-Picayune:

Legislators, please do not giggle the next time Gov. Bobby Jindal launches into one of his sermons about ethics, transparency and the new day that is dawning in corrupt old Louisiana.

He is ready to lift you up, and rescue you from sin. Yet some of you may detect a droll irony when Jindal hands down laws he proposes to guide you to the path of righteousness.
....

But please remember what a solemn moment it will be when you gather at the special session he called for early Lent. It is just bad luck that his own transgressions became known shortly before Mardi Gras.

There will be a temptation to point fingers from the back of the chamber and mock Jindal as a Pharisee. But that will get us nowhere. Just concentrate on what he saith and forget what he doth.

Any legislators who cannot keep a straight face should just stare at the floor until they can compose themselves. Do they think state government is a joke?


Read the rest, but you get the drift.
