Bobby Jindal of Louisiana is, we are informed by all the best people, insufficiently ethnic.

The trashing has begun, and only Republicans get it.
Yes: people who have bought into the notion that pointing out hypocrisy is pointless.
People whining about conservatives pointing out liberal hypocrisy comes to mind.
It’s a fool’s errand appealing to a sense of shame in people who’re shameless. You are asking the devil to observe marquis of queensbury rules, which will I’m sure enhance his enjoyment as he makes a meal of you.
Who says that's the aim in pointing out liberal hypocrisy - or that liberals are the target audience?
