It's OK to lie like a cheap Japanese watch if you're doing it for the good of the country. The good of the country, obviously, being getting yourself elected. |

And then, of course, in an effort to rescue his original lie, Jindal kept spinning. And spinning. And spinning. http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/02/jindals_office_tries_to_spin_katrina_story_digs_it.php I wonder what new version will come out next? |

Why would he go down in flames? It worked just fine for Obama, how 'he was born of Selma', and Hillary and her combat experiences. Heck, Jindal's just following the Democratic playbook. |

I hear what you're saying Mik, but it's not right, regardless of which side of the fence it comes from. |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

What you're really saying is that Jindal is an Obama wannabee. 'Yo, Ill tell you what I want, what I really really want, So tell me what you want, what you really really want, Ill tell you what I want, what I really really want, So tell me what you want, what you really really want, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really Really really wanna zigazig ha. If you want my future forget my past, If you wanna get with me better make it fast, Now dont go wasting my precious time, Get your act together we could be just fine' |

No, he's just seeing that it worked for them. It does not distinguish him in my eyes, but ot obviously does not indicate he will go down in flames either. Either that or politicians are all just shameless self-promoters. |

Well there must be some kind of reason they don't get proper jobs, and let's face it - it isn't because they want to give public service. If they really cared about other people they'd get a job working at an old people's home or something. |

You guys are forgetting that Republicans go down in flames over stuff like this. The media go into sleep mode when Democrats do it. |

As a matter of fact, you are right. That was the one time they went after her. Not like the other times like when she said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. |

So, help me out here. Jindal says he was in the sheriff's office "during Katrina" and the left is saying Jindal is lying because he wasn't actually in the sheriff's office "during Katrina"; because they interpret "during Katrina" to mean when the storm was actually raging? Is that about it? |
