Bobby Jindal will be ok

Sure, "The Whiz Kid is gone." But that image never really should have been in the first place. It only came into being because an accommodating press allowed the obviously phony Jindal the space he needed to create it. Give him a few years of think tanking or op-ed writing or TV guesting or whatever the hell and there will be time for a triumphant come back themed on "lessons learned" or just plain old being tan, rested, and ready.   But don't worry about Bobby in the meantime. He'll be fine.
