More on Bobby Jindal

Betsy Newmark has compiled a great post on the whole Bobby Jindal "hates protestants" episode of truly dirty politics occurring in Louisiana. The dispicable ad misquotes and takes way, way, WAY out of context an essay Jindal wrote 13 years ago.

For those of you who don't know who Jindal is, you should get to know the name because you will see it again--a lot.

Quin Hillyer has a biographical piece on him at the American Spectator. Jindal, at age 36 has been:
Lousiana Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (at age 25)
Executive Director of the National Bipartisan Commissio on the Future of Medicare (at age 27)
President of the University of Lousisiana System (at age 28)
Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (at age 30)
Candidate for Governor in Lousiana in 2003 (at age 33)
Two Term Congressman from Louisiana, elected in 2004 and 2006
On the verge of being elected Governor of Louisiana in 2007 at age 36.

If you don't think Jindal's name won't appear on a presidential ballot by 2016, you are living a fog.
