Bobby Jindal Is Bad!

Michael Hill interviewed Bobby Jindal on ABC 26 this morning.  

Jindal was asked if EWE should be let out of jail. He gave his typical dodge of an answer. He was asked his opinion and he did not respond with a “no” (or better yet, “hell no”). How can anyone take Jindal seriously on ethics if he wont say that the corrupt EWE should remain in jail for his entire term?

He was asked why he hasn’t committed to more debates. He dodged with stating that he has several multi-point plans and challenged others to release there plans. Of course, other candidates are releasing their plans and guess what? Other candidates are also willing to attend more debates.

Jindal then complains about candidates throwing mud, even though he calls people corrupt for no real reason and he calls people clowns. He also repeats the lie that he was attacked for his christian faith. As confirmed by Stephanie Grace, he was not attacked for his faith. Nobody said that Bobby Jindal is a terrible person because he is a Christian.

Jindal was asked why he hasn’t asked for Senator Vitter’s resignation. Jindal said that he called for Craig to resign  because he was convicted of a crime (he pled guilty) and that he has “criticized” Vitter.

Jindal is then asked “Isn’t there a petty distinction though when you start talking about the conviction and what someone has admitted to doing. In this case we have the Senator of this state, the Junior Senator, who campaigned on family values, who goes to Washington DC as as.. a lawmaker. He tells us that he has broken the law, his oath, his trust, his bond with the public. Why not as somebody who is saying look, we need ethical behavior, we need people to be straight up, above board. Why not call for this Senator to resign?”

Part of Jindal’s response to this line of questioning included”… Michael, you said something but actually I dont think has happened. Mabye you said he had told you he has broken the law. I havn’t actually havn’t seen him say that“.

Michael’s response: ”To solicit prostitution is breaking the law.”

Jindal: “But Michael, clearly we have said it is wrong when anyone breaks the law…. we apply the same standards to everybody“.

He hasn’t seen Vitter admit to it?!?!?!? Does Bobby Jindal have a visual impairment or a hearing impairment? 

Michael Hill was then discussing the election for Governor with Jeff Crouere. Michael Hill stated:

One of the things I learned about Bobby Jindal interviewing him for a good 35 or almost 40 minutes, is that he does talk a lot but when you really look and listen at the interview he does not answer a lot of questions so it seems.

Jeff Crouere’s response was that the reason Jindal does this because he is a “practiced politician” who “knows he can win by running out the clock”.

Good for ABC 26 and Michael Hill for not pulling punches and asking the hard questions.

The only unfortunate thing is that this aired at 6:30 on Sunday Morning. Perhaps it will be on their website later.
