BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Formally kicking off his campaign for governor, Republican U.S. Rep. Bobby Jindal cast aside any talk Monday of his congressional colleague and previously outspoken supporter, U.S. Sen. David Vitter, who is enmeshed in a sex scandal. Vitter, R-Metairie, had been vociferous in his backing of Jindal for this fall's election for governor and was expected to be a companion to Jindal on the campaign trail, helping to drum up support. ~snip~

1. He may refuse to talk about Vitter . . .

. . . but the questions are still going to rain down upon him!




Boxers or briefs, Vitter? Depends! :spank:

2. I wonder how many whore houses Jindal has visited?

Wouldn't be ironic if he got outed by FLynt as well?

Florida and Louisiana Republics are such hypocrites.

He sure is a smarmy little bastard.

4. Jindal is a very bright guy

with a good record of service as a government bureaucrat. Have I ever voted for him? No. I couldn't because Bobby couldn't shut up about his Christian faith (he's a convert) and his "covenant marriage." I don't know if he is a Vitter-style hypocrite but he is off to a good start.

3. Lil shit jindal had a plan - Run against Kathleen Blanco

She chose not to run, now the little shit has to run for something. Really fucked up his plans.
