Bobby Jindal Wants Duck Dynasty Star To Be His Vice President

Not Borowitz!!

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/bobby_jindal_wants_duck_dynasty_star_to_be_his_vice_president

At a Good Friday prayer breakfast last week in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Republican Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal didn't officially announce his candidacy for the White House in 2016, but he pretty much announced his top choice for his running mate: reality TV star and son of the infamously anti-gay Duck Dynasty patriarch.

Yes, Bobbly Jindal wants Willie Robertson (not Phil) to be on the GOP ticket with him in 2016.

Preaching that there is "an assault on religious liberty in America," Jindal told the crowd that "Christians should not have to choose between operating their businesses and living according to our faith."

No mention of how Muslims, people of other religious faiths, or people of no faith should operate their businesses.


Dear Booby, please note that you and the Duck Dynasty guy are from the same state. You're awfully dumb for a Brown grad!

They are obviously a danger to themselves and those around them.

The gleeful ignorance they exhibit is truly the most depressing thing I've ever seen.

One of them can do what Cheney did and register to vote in another state. Problem solved.

As the article points out, Jindal said that Robertson would make a great running mate "with a grin" and then joked about th pay cut Robertson would have to take.

He was trying to be funny. And to pander. And he failed. But it's a bit over the top to suggest he announced 'his top choice" for VP and we look silly trying to spin his failed attempt at pandering/joking into something serious.

No, srsly. Louisiana repukes have in fact leveled the charge of racism against those who dare to refer to their Dear Leader by his given name.
