I'm not sure why people are writing Jindal's political obituary already. Didn't Clinton give a deadly speech 4 years before coming president?

Not saying the same will happen with Jindal and he has long way to go before he's polished enough for the national stage but he seems to be doing a good job as governor.

Obituary is a strong word but getting caught lying about his presence in a crisis situation is a big anchor. -- nm - David Feb 27, 18:46 7
- I think the story fabrication is going to weight him down a lot more than the poor speech -- nm - amoxy Feb 27, 18:51 6
  - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 27, 19:07
  - I still can't get over his ridicule of funding for volcano studies. I'm sure there may have been more to it, but it didn't come through in his speech -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 27, 18:58 4
    - We should make him live for 6 months or so about halfway up Mt. St. Helens. It spews and shakes enough that he'd have the shit scared out of him. -- nm - Trish Feb 27, 20:48
    - I bet if he had monitors that warned him when levees would break he wouldn't be mocking them -- nm - amoxy Feb 27, 19:01 1
      - That was my thought. Wonder if he's ever been west of the Rockies? -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 27, 19:06
    - and those weird "levitating trains." everyone knows you can't levitate a train, dummy! -- nm - alpine misanthrope Feb 27, 18:59
Things are a little different now, with the internet kind of magnifying everything, but I agree it's too early for an obituary. -- nm - mara Feb 27, 18:41
yep very true. -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 18:41
This is America. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 27, 18:40 1
- and we can do ANYthing. -- nm - Remlik Feb 27, 18:47
IIRC, his speech at the 1988 Democratic National Convention was utterly horrible. - ReluctantCynic Feb 27, 18:39
I'm not, I'm just laughing at him. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 18:39
