Bobby Jindal's Goofy, Sing-Songy Lies
Not since "MACACA" have we seen presidential ambitions go up in smoke so quickly, and so satisfyingly. Did you know Bobby "The Governor" Jindal straight-up lied in his terrible sing-song response speech?
Jindal lied about a dead hero too, so it's extra fun! Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish organized volunteers during Katrina to rescue residents trapped on rooftops. This was supposedly against some of that damned bureaucratic red tape or something, and in Jindal's telling he marched into Lee's office and said if the rowboats didn't go out NOW they could just arrest the governor, or something. Well, this was a lie, because Jindal wasn't even in Jefferson Parish when the flood waters were that high. His office admitted that the story was bullshit, then tried to cover for Bobby by claiming that they meant that the dramatic phone conversation happened days later.
