Our long lost friend Bobby was on TV yesterday. This is the only way we see him anymore since he ran off to be a star.
Despite his continued insistence that he hasn't decided whether or not
to seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, Gov. Bobby Jindal appeared this morning on This Week With George Stephanopoulos
to talk about this week's slapfight with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, the
threat of ISIS, what Jindal called "the European nightmare" and other
topics.
Dude hasn't quite
gotten that big break yet, though.
Rounding out the bottom are South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey
Graham and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who are tied for 14th place
with 1 percent each, while former New York Gov. George Pataki is at less
than 1 percent.
The Iowa Poll of 402 likely Republican
caucusgoers was conducted May 25-29 by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines.
The margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
We're not sure if the margin of error potentially puts Bobby at below zero percent in this poll. Sounds like a Common Core type question anyway. Besides, as long as
ABC News doesn't feel like doing any math, we're not going to worry about it.
Gov. Bobby Jindal on Sunday morning proved once more that the
networks’ weekend morning “news” shows are nothing more than platforms
for politicians to reprise their shopworn talking points and mendacities
without challenge.
This time, Jindal made the manifestly false claim that he has cut
state spending by 26 percent. It’s an easy claim to disprove, which I’ll
demonstrate.
I know that declining ratings have forced media organizations like
ABC to economize, but couldn’t they at least give George Stephanopoulos
an unpaid intern or two to research a guest’s record before handing over
five minutes of network airtime for that person to blather and twaddle?
See the rest of that post for the answer. Meanwhile, keep those letters to Bobby coming.
Here's a good one.
More than any of that, his constituents are frustrated that their
governor can’t be bothered to do his day job—and when he does, that his
actions are often transparently designed to build a national profile
rather than meet Louisiana’s needs.
That’s clear in his refusal to take federal money to expand
Medicaid—which, of course, would mean acknowledging there are benefits
to Obama’s health care law. But nowhere is it more obvious, or more
damaging, than in Jindal’s stewardship of fiscal affairs.
Speaking of fiscal affairs, here's a post-card from Bobby's fans in the legislature. They really do seem to miss him.
