Jindal is a pub and a genius. He really is. The was however "to dark" for the whites of La and "too white" for the blacks. He is an american raised Indian, a catholic and is the hope of Louisianians who think.
He "was" the hope - he screwed-up big-time this week. All he had to do was say "Let's all concentrate on saving lives right now and worry about the rest later." And then, shut up.
