The boy needs to stew in that primordial goo and get reacquainted with evolution

Yeah, yeah, but–there are worse ways to attract the votes of the poor and uneducated–politics requires some compromises! If “Paris vaut bien une messe,” so too does the White House!

Looking forward to it, can’t wait to send him back to the bayou. The boy needs to stew in that primordial goo and get reacquainted with evolution

I’m fairly agnostic as far as the pay raise itself (these legislators do get per diems, etc.), but Jindal did what had to be done. 2012 awaits!!

as do the ID re-education camps and perhaps some mass exorcisms to rid our nation’s gays of their evil homo spirits. (i kid. but where does accountability for signed legislation begin and allowances for political vicissitudes end?)

I am celebrating Jindal’s following of his campaign promise, which will maintain his viability on the national level. I’m fairly agnostic as far as the pay raise itself (these legislators do get per diems, etc.), but Jindal did what had to be done. 2012 awaits!!

The veto came after the recall threat. Are you celebrating his lack of spine or his survival instincts?

Seriously, though, this was probably a bad move politically. In four years no voters gonna remember this– but the legislature will remember it every time they get a paycheck, and probably punish him for it.

Add to which, $16k isn’t really a lot of money– $16k in 1980 is about the same as $45k today. A raise doesn’t seem entirely out of order.
