We hadn't heard all that much from the man who claimed that he met a demon once and helped perform an exorcism, but Governor Bobby Jindal is back in the news. He hasn't done nearly enough work to try and restore his popularity with the conservative movement after his disastrous SOTU rebuttal response, which embarrassed him and the GOP. He was once considered an up-and-coming GOP star who could run for president in 2012, but those hopes died fast. He received a lot of airtime during the BP oil spill crisis, and I heard many Republicans sounding like they feel a bit better about him after that. Well, this won't win him any more gold stars with the GOP, except for maybe a spot on the next Celebrity Apprentice.

- Gov. Bobby Jindal would sign a bill requiring presidential candidates to provide a copy of their birth certificate to qualify for the Louisiana ballot if it reaches his desk, a spokesman said Monday.

"It's not part of our package, but if the Legislature passes it we'll sign it," press secretary Kyle Plotkin said.

House Bill 561 was filed last week by two Republican lawmakers. President Barack Obama's citizenship has been challenged by some groups, derisively called "birthers," despite numerous independent investigations finding that documents and contemporary news reports show that Obama was born in Hawaii.

1. I wonder what Jindal would do if he found out

the country his parents came from is a Socialist Democracy? Bet his head would explode and candy would come out.

2. I see nothing wrong with it. I had to prove I was eligible to have my job before I could start

I see nothing wrong with requiring the same thing of the President.

I know they're pandering, but it's their distraction and I think it's good for us. It makes them look small. And President Obama will make them all look that much smaller when he nonchalantly presents his birth certificate in a classic F-U moment.

3. so bush`s fbi looked the other way when they vetted obama?

funny thing is sarah was`t vetted before she was announced as the republican vice president candidate. why? because no one informed the fbi before it was announced.
