Bobby Jindal's $200M Sand Berms a Failure
Gov. Bobby Jindal pushed the venture over the objections of scientists and federal agencies. I'm glad Republicans are spending our tax dollars wisely.

5. ...if a chipmunk-cheeked pipsqueak can look leaderly.
I got a kick out of the way Chris Matthews treated Jindal when he was on "Hardball" pushing his book. Chris cut him off several times; other than that, I could tell by Chris' body language & the expression on his face that he had little respect for Jindal. I just know Chris' mind kept flashing back to the awkward Howdy-Doody speech Jindal made after Obama's SOTU speech.

Jindal tries to come off as a nice guy on tv, but he's a jerk.

3. "Well, Bobby,
I hope you've learned a valuable lesson: sometimes even doing your very best isn't enough when you manage to come up with an idea that's just plain dumb, son."

4. Well, you know that for every difficult problem there is always a
simple answer, which is invariably wrong. Bobby's motto.
