Awfully Disappointed with Bobby Jindal

If you missed Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's dreadful performance on Meet the Pressyesterday, click here to see a man with a promising future throw it all away for cheap political points.

But to truly appreciate how foolish Jindal made himself look on Sunday, you need to watch the subsequent interview with Florida Governor Charlie Crist rejecting Jindal's petty partisanship:

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4IKFdOcpp8[Time Magazine's Joe Klein](http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2009/02/22/bobby-jindals-blustery-day/) said it best, from both an economic policy and political perspective.

Crist supported John McCain in the election, but says in " take 2" of his interview, "When the campaign's over, it's over."  He also praised President Obama's first weeks in office, and said he hopes he succeeds.  Jindal has another agenda.  He is siding with the Rush Limbaugh wing (the extremist wing) of the Republican Party.  If they howl and whine about Obama's efforts to rebuild the economy, they can say "I told you so" if their hopes come true and America falls deeperin into recession.  This is Jindal's path to the White House in 2012, or so he thinks.  But how much pain is he willing to inflict on the people of Lousiana in order to get his chance?Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzlUKlVL2Uo
