Clowning Around: Jindal’s hypocrisy exposed (yet again).
Aug 22nd, 2007 by Daniel Z.
Bobby Jindal was quoted (a week ago) on nola.com as saying this:
”I still believe that in an election you can tell people why they should vote for you not why they shouldn’t vote for somebody else,”

Now the Bobby Jindal campaign has released their own attack ad claiming that Boasso and Campbell are clowns who won’t be able to enact ethical reforms in Louisiana.
Ignoring the fact that Jindal’s ad is just opinion with no reasoning as to why the Jindal Campaign believes that they will not be able to bring ethical reforms to Louisiana, even the most die hard Jindal supports will have to admit that Jindal is a hypocrite on these “attack ads”.
For Jindal to claim that you shouldn’t bring up the negatives of your opponents one week and then the very next week to come out with an ad that does just that, he has proven himself to be a hypocrite and a liar.
If you want to run ads that explain your beliefs on the negative aspects of the other candidates then by all means do it. However, don’t claim to be all high and mighty one day and then turn around and do the very same thing you are complaining about the next day and expect people to take you seriously.

I do wan’t to add that immediately after Jindal came out with his attack ad, there was an ad by Walter Boasso (sans cardboard Jindal) which showed a very serious side to Walter Boasso. It was really amusing to see Jindal prove himself to be a hypocrite by calling Boasso a clown and then see Boasso air a serious commercial. This only helped make the Jindal ad look more foolish.
Citizens of Louisiana, I stand here today as a competitor for the State’s
highest office. A recent ad labeled me as well as others as corrupt
clowns that show up every four years. Some of the candidates were
mentioned by name. I find this to be offensive that Mr. Jindal would
choose to categorize and profile anyone who has taken the time and effort
exercising their right to be a candidates for Governor of Louisiana. Just
because we have different values and ideas in no way labels us as corrupt.
In light of Mr. Jindal’s outcry concerning a recent ad he found offensive
he chooses to let this one ad out for public interpetation. One would
have to ask themselves is this how Mr. Jindal will operate if elected?
Anyone with a different idea than him he’ll label a clown. The office of
Governor will demand that the leader of this state work with the diversity
of many individuals who undoubtedly will think differently. The leader of
this state will need to build consensus to move this state forward.
Belittling efforts of individuals because they do not agree will only lead
to two things, four years of turmoil and the stagnation of our state. I
have sat in the debates and forums with the other candidates. Despite my
lack of political experience and the differences in philosophies I have
been treated with the utmost respect. Never once have I been refered to
as a corrupt clown. Mr. Jindal although these words did not come from
your mouth you are ultimately responsible for the action of your campaign
team. They are a reflection of you and your leadership ability. In light
of this senseless act of character assassination I demand an apology not
only for myself but the other candidates as well.
I’m Anthony “Tony G” Gentile and I approve of this message.

Your funny.
Well, I know im funny. No need to mention acts of “self love” is there?
Its not self love, idiot. Just simple self-inflected sex.
From we what we hear, you do a lot of
Stop fantasizing about me, its disturbing.
You know, with all your gay bashing comments im not suprised you think about me doing that. They say that the most homophobic are doing it as a cover. Visit any restrooms lately with a Senator?
I try it with Barney Frank, but it didn’t work out. Barney told me he said he likes Jewish boys better. He thinks its kosher with them.
That was actually kinda funny.
