Piyush “Bobby” Jindal Chosen with the Same Care as Sarah Palin?

Well, it now seems that the careless lack of proper vetting due diligence on the part of John McCain when he impulsively chose Sarah Palin as his running mate last year may not have been an isolated incident of Republican bad judgment. Either that, or the people who convinced McCain that Palin would have a positive impact on the ticket are the same misguided, cynical, ideologues who convinced the GOP leadership that Piyush “Bobby” Jindal was their rising star.

It now seems that, just as Palin’s anatomy must have been the major factor in McCain’s choice, Jindal’s skin hue is all it takes to be dubbed, “Future of the Party,” by the old, rich, white guys who are currently facing-down irrelevance with sheer terror.

Everyone agrees that the speech was badly delivered, and the charitable on both sides of the aisle concur that he had a “tough hand to play” and a “hard act to follow,” but now it turns out that, aside from casting misinformed aspersions on volcanic science, JINDAL’S A BIG FAT LIER!
