So it turns out that on Fat Tuesday, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) told a Whopper of a fib from the Big Easy (Baton Rouge, actually), lying about how he was hailed as a hero during Katrina. Read more here.
Turns out, he was not with a local sheriff who tried to send out boats to rescue Katrina survivors, but could not because of Federal red tape. He actually OVERHEARD the story, and decided it was so good - he took it for his own.
Not only that, but he was roundly criticized for his inaccurate factoids, and for his ignorance about some very basic - and important - functions of government. He was called "tone deaf" and his response "insane"... he IS a Republican, right?????
He was also panned here, and here, and here on the site of a fellow blogger on downwithtyranny.
