MONROE -- When Gov. Bobby Jindal talks to the nation Tuesday, he will be feted by the national Republican Party as the GOP's own man of hope -- an antidote to President Barack Obama.
Louisiana's 37-year-old governor will deliver the GOP's response to Obama's national address, and it'll be a breakthrough moment. He'll be the talk of political junkies, and the conservative punditry will likely gush over him and his inspirational story, the Rhodes Scholar son of Indian immigrants.
But there's a twist: Back home in Louisiana, a state that turns more Republican with every election cycle, Jindal is not conservative enough for some. He's facing a rebellion from an unlikely source -- the homegrown conservative punditry.
The wellhead of discontent can be traced to a syndicated political talk radio host at a small station in Monroe in north Louisiana. Around these parts, he is affectionately called the "Louisiana Limbaugh."

Seems like a hitpiece to me.
If the AP is gunning for Jindal, then he’s probably doing something right.
“Jindal is not conservative enough for some.”
They’re probably waiting to repeal the 13th, 15th 19th, 23rd and 24th ammendments
The orthodox right-of-right wing-nuts should go form their own party.
Jindahl is a Conservative symbol in that he’s a good person, hoever he’s not conservative enough for me, I’m not from Louisiana, but subtle policy nuances would force me to choose someone else on the national level (possibly DeMint or Sanford).
Yep the AP is Anti Palin, and now Anti Jindal, that’s a very good sign. Means they are scared of both of them
you forgot the 16th and 17th ;-D.
Sounds like Jindal is more like the “Charlie Crist of Louisiana”
I think too many in the GOP like Jindal because he is the “Great Dark Hope” (a la Michael Steele)...and not for being conservative
you’re the reason AP does what it does.
Funny thing. Both Crist and Jindal where on Meet the Press this past weekend. They couldn't have sounded more different.
What a nice hitpiece.... looks like AP did more research on Jindal then Obambi.........
You mean a person who doesn’t support your idiotic economic philosophy isn’t good enough for you..
Crist is a horrible RINO. Did Crist sing Judy Carland show tunes?
Jindal is good but Sanford is probably better.
Of course it’s a hit piece, it’s the AP.
Any long term plan that does not repeal these amendments is kicking the can down the road.
We either return the Fed back to something resembling what the Founders intended, or we don’t.
LOOKS LIKE THE RON PAUL NUTS ARE GOING TO GO AFTER JINDAL NOW. Losers, every one of them. Jindal is a great conservative.
Yes, Crist is a terrible RINO. Sanford is fantastic, I just wish he had a little more charisma.
Jindal santelli ‘12!
:D
Wow. You really want those repealed?
“...something resembling what the Founders intended”
What the founders intended was having an ammendment process. They aren’t the 10 Commandments.
