Why listen to some ordinary Joe when you can listen to Barack the Plumber?

Really, that’s Barack Obama triumphantly holding aloft a toilet plunger during a St Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago in 2003.

Plus, there is the weird exorcism episode.

First Palin, then Jindal, will bring exorcism back! I am just waiting for it to be embraced as an Original American Tradition by “intellectuals” ranging from Krauthammer to Kristol to Will!

Jindal seeing someone exorcised.

Palin being pre-emptively exorcised? She credits her becoming governor to the power of Muthee’s prayer here.

Interestingly Christopher Hitchens has attacked Palin for various things including her diatribe against fruit flies, but I could not find any attacks on Jindal. Jindal saner or not yet high profile?

it appears a leaderless party is increasingly looking to Jindal. his ivy pedigree assuages those nervous about palin’s intellectual gravitas and he can appeal to the base in a way the corporate romney can’t. remember, the base loved keyes. i put him up there with romney, huckabee, and palin for a potential ’12 run.

The guy is short-ish, extremely skinny, nerdy and serious. He does not seem charismatic at all. He would make a good adviser and policy wonk, but he does not seem to have the personal magnetism to get others, especially liberals and moderates, to rally to him in a nationwide election. He will need to do that to do well. Plus, there is the weird exorcism episode. I guess we will have to see how well he does as LA guv.</p> As I commented on another blog, Jindal does not seem to bring excitement to an election the way Palin does – whether positive or negative.
