Bobby Jindal rules out running for VP (because it's "something I've not been offered")

[Amerigo Vespucci]

What a slippery little shit. He's ruled it out because McCain hasn't offered it yet. So when it's offered, all of a sudden the "bestest job in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD" turns into McCain-Jindal 2008.

Did I mention the fact that he's a slippery little shit?

Indian American Bobby Jindal, the Governor of Louisiana, has ruled out possibility of becoming the running mate to the presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, saying that his focus was on getting his state back on its feet after the debilitating Katrina.

Jindal's name has been surfaced as a potential running mate to Senator McCain but the Indian American head of a State has persistently ruled it out.

"...I've said it several times before...I'll say it again: I've got the job I want. When I campaigned across the state, I told people this is an historic time for the people of Louisiana. We won't get to make these changes again. This isn't a normal time, normal piece of history for my state," Jindal said at the National Press Club here.

"The changes we make are generational changes. I want to be a part of that. I want to help lead that effort. This may be the only elected position I'll ever have, and that's just fine for me. This is not a stepping stone for me. This is an opportunity to help lead my state forward," he said.

"I'll say this again. I'll make this prediction right now: He (McCain) is not going to ask me to run. I think it'd be presumptuous of me to turn down something I've not been offered," Jindal said.

1. Better him than Fiorina.

She couldn't run a company and buy another to save it... then blame everyone else for it and spouting nonsense about god-given rights or something to that effect...

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. Fiorina is so widely despised...

...I couldn't imagine her getting any traction as the veep nod.

She can write her memoir and take her golden parachute and position herself as the personification of the Great American Success Story, but the fact of the matter is that she was, and is, a failure.

That and the fact that many, many people do not like her at all.

4. McCain - Jindal would be a great ticket...

5. Having Jindal as McBush's running mate would give the racist vote nowhere to go

Overall, it would probably help keep a sizable chunk of wingnuts home on election day.

6. In a similar vein, I've ruled out touring this summer with The Who.

Because they haven't offered me the opportunity.

7. I've ruled out shacking up with Madonna now that she's available again.

Because she hasn't offered me the opportunity.
