He used the phony Las-Vegas to California train anecdote -- and he made it from Las Vegas to Disneyland and turned it into a Mag-Lev train. Jesus cries when you lie Bobby.
Does Jindal think anyone admires Louisiana as a model for the country? I know that Washington is often criticized, but rarely is it found wanting when compared to Louisiana.
He believes Americans can do anything. I personally can fly by grasping my scrotum in an oh-so special fashion and thinking real hard. (Well it feels like flying to me.)
Why does he keep mentioning Louisiana like it's universally admired in America? Does he really have no sense that the land that gave us Huey Long, Edwin Edwards, and David Duke is not really the magical place of American dreams unless you have an affinity for boogie woogie piano and puking in public.
Our troops can also do anything too! Because they're fucking Americans too. Can they fly like me?
And let me repeat -- Motherfucking Americans can do motherfucking anything.
Rachel Maddow shares my speechlessness. And she has not been drinking the exquisite Michter's Single Barrel Rye that I am enjoying with such, well, liberality. (I am going to get an endorsement deal out of this gig, I swear.)
The Republican Party -- still batshit insane. Logically they would turn in their hour of need to a man who thinks a women he knew in college who wanted to get laid needed an exorcism.
