Perhaps seeing an opening for himself for 2016, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has just gone on a tear about how his fellow Republicans have to quit saying "stupid things."
We cats see a couple of problems here.
First, Jindal is only chastising the GOP for their words — not their Neanderthal beliefs or policies. We wonder if Bobby thinks that if Republicans just stop speaking their minds, they can lull voters into forgetting their, say, execrable 2012 platform.
Second, and more important, where was Bobby Jindal when all these "stupid things" were actually being said? Did he condemn them in real time? Or is he merely doing it now because he senses an opportunity?
Where was Bobby Jindal when Republican debate audiences cheered the idea of leaving an uninsured American to die, and booed an American soldier who self-identified as gay? What was Bobby Jindal's reaction when Rush Limbaugh slandered Sandra Fluke, when Newt Gingrich called Barack Obama a "food-stamp President," and when Willard Mitt Romney said that undocumented immigrants should "self-deport"? And we haven't even mentioned Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock yet!
Sorry, Bobby. You can complain now about your party all you want. But if you stood silently by when your fellow Republicans behaved like this, you're just as stupid as they are. We cats HISS.
