Jindal's response to "Isn't stocking the SuperDome a local responsibility" was "Now is not the time to point fingers - things are getting better - now is the time to rescue."

My paraphrase, but not made up. That was his response.

Every time Jindal had an opportunity to say something about the local officals, he always said something like "there's enough blame to go around."

He didn't blame Bush or Chertoff or Brown specifically either, but he kept going back to the bureaucratic red-tape, which to me was code for the feds.

He always deflected when Brit asked him a question about the local officials.
