“Satan, I Command You To Leave This Woman”
Get used to hearing that phrase, friends and neighbors. You can also get used to hearing things like, “The Barack Obama of the Right”. Ya see in two short years, Bobby Jindal, Gov. of Louisiana, is expected to be trotted out as the right’s next (last?) great hope. And I for one couldn’t be happier.
Bobby Jindal is a rising star in the GOP for good reason. He’s young, possibly more socially conservative than Rapture Ready Bible Spice, and a bona fide exorcist. In 1994 he wrote an essay for the New Oxford Review, a far-right leaning Catholic publication where he described in vivid detail the removal of a demon who had possessed a young woman. This came on the heels of his conversion to Catholicism from his native Hindu religion, and sounds like just the thing to get the “base” to overlook his, well, brownness.
The problem the Republican Party faces is that it simply can’t put a new face on old ideas and expect the public to buy that shit anymore. Limbaugh loves him, which makes me wonder if anyone’s told Mooselini that yet. After all, elRusho was one of her biggest (literally and figuratively) cheerleaders this cycle. Grover “Drown Government in the Bathtub” Norquist thinks the sun shines out of his ass, too. And our own mastermind, Lex Luthor incarnate Steve Schmidt has stated, “The question is not whether he’ll be president, but when he’ll be president, because he will be elected someday.” Take that one to the bank, friends and neighbors, because if there’s one thing Steve Schmidt knows, it’s how to win an election. Oh, wait, nevermind.
2012 is shaping up to be a battle of the Govs, as the only serious names being bandied about are either sitting or former Governors. Can you imagine the amount of at-the-ready material for the slime machines during a Republican primary between Bobby “The Power Of Christ Compels You” Jindal, Mittens “I Have Magic Underpants” Romney, Sarah “Bwahahahahahahahahahahhahaha” Palin, and Mike “Aw Shucks, Everything Is A Sin” Huckster?
I’ll bring the popcorn.
Stumble It!
Oh my. He’s on my keep him out of office list.
Ahem…since I haven’t been contradictory for a few days. Get Huck off your list of people to make fun of. He’s a good guy
wow, i used to be an exorcist…think i can become president some day?
@birdie- Huckster’s a joke, and he doesn’t belong anywhere near national office. I don’t care if he’s a nice guy, he’s wrong for the country.
Rev.- sure you can be President. If we can elect a black guy with a Muslim-sounding name, we can elect anyone…as long as they’re not a Republican.
They’ll throw a lot of crazy governors and I’m sure Joe Lieberman, too.
Holy Joe may as well run for President in 2012, he sure as hell won’t have a Senate seat to look forward to…
@three - Just saying he’s better than the rest of them, grumpy.
which makes me wonder if anyone’s told Mooselini that yet.
LOL! that is the funniest nickname i’ve ever heard! did you think of that yourself? if so, then you truly are a Rhino!
LOL..as a nice lady who lives in Louisiana..trust me, I do not represent the demographic here. However, I think I would rather have Jindal than Huck or especially Sarah quite contrary.
They’re all ideal as far as opponents are concerned; they all represent regression and the same failed policies that have crippled and alienated the US. In the words of a lame duck Prez’nint: bring ‘em on.
I found a blog I think you’ll like ():o)

I have a startling idea for the pundits- We just elected a President into office, so maybe since the country is in the shitter we could focus on the current problems instead of working day and night to figure out how to win the next election.
Naw, that’s no fun at all…it’s a business, getting people elected. And while whomever gets elected will have work to do, the people who got them elected just go right back to work.
I am so sorry I was late to this party… How quickly we forget. Don’t you know Mittens is having a cow? ~k
