Re: Jindal, Booker to speak tonight

"Tickets are $60."

Sixty dollars? Who's opening up for him, the Goo Goo Dolls? It better not be Mike Huckabee's Rockabilly Nightmare Band, or I'm walking (running) right out the door.

Tell you what, Francis. Get me a free ticket for the dinner, seat me close to John Hood so I can badger him a little, let me borrow your laptop so I can live-blog the thing, give me half of your filet, and I'll say something nice about JLF. Like, "they're not all crazy" or something along those lines.

We have to stick together now with this whole blog libel thing happening.

Personal destruction?

Pointing out an elected official's actual positions on public policy is "practicing the politics of personal destruction"? Wow. That's bringing right wing winery to a whole new level.

Oh, Fran,

If you need therapy from everything we've learned from Carter and Jesse, I'm sure someone could ask Jindal to speak on tax breaks for spiritual mind healing.

Could that stimulate the economy? By voodoo, we've found a solution!

Really glad to see the politics of personal destruction is no longer being practiced...

Maybe an exorcism at Duke - doctors present?

Governor Exorcist is speaking near a North Carolina medical school tonight!

If he does any faith healing, I hope the doctors at Duke watch and learn.

JLF bloggers, please report if Governor Exorcist cures your ills.

Can't wait to see your next speaker!

Jindal

Good to see the GOP leadership getting refocused on its shrinking reactionary roots with this anti-science Creationist.

Jindal's slim record as a Congressman from 2005 to 2008 is a window into this staunch conservatism. In that time he missed 427 of 2,398 votes (18 percent); GovTrack.us, the nonpartisan website that tracks elected officials' participation, gave Congressman Jindal a rating of "Exceedingly Poor relative to peers." Nevertheless, Jindal's religious bias and radical-right politics are evident in the votes he did cast. He voted no on a bill to amend the federal definition of a hate crime to include sexual orientation and gender identity. He also voted against reauthorizing and expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP). Not surprisingly, he voted against stem-cell research. He has been an advocate of teaching creationism over evolution and has passionately spoken up for this cause. Jindal has voted against a woman's right to an abortion every chance he has had, including a vote against allowing overseas military personnel the ability to use their own money to obtain abortion services in overseas military hospitals. He also voted for a bill that would require abortion providers to tell patients that an unborn fetus experiences pain during an abortion.

And then there's this, just for fun.

Too good to be true

More comment bait, RTB? You've outdone yourself this time.

Let's play create your own headline.

I'll go first.
