WASHINGTON (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a possible GOP presidential candidate, will make a "major announcement" on the 2016 race on June 24 in New Orleans.

That's according to Jindal's chief political adviser, Timmy Teepell.

Jindal had announced a campaign exploratory committee on May 18.

If Jindal decides to run, he'd join a crowded Republican primary that already includes nine major candidates, with more expected to join the fray.

Piyush the Exorcist is yet another longshot, no-chance-of-being-nominated candidate, joining the clown bus to draw money from his rube backers. His announcement would bring the field to 10, and that still leaves Jeb, Walker, Christie and god knows who else to announce.

I'm personally hoping for a Trump & Alan Keyes infusion of comedy.

The GOP, where "running for president" is an acceptable answer for the occupation line on your taxes.

None of these guys have any intention of being president, but the FOX News,/talk radio/book tour circuit has made them all want to get in on the rightwing celebrity grifting scheme.

1. IMO the only reason for him to run is to get his hands on $$$ nt

[SoapBox]

2. Just another scamming schemer.

3. Come on Bobby, you can do it!

Get in the clown car.

28. He better hurry up or he's gonna get the Romney treatment

Strapped to the top of the car

4. Not for nuthin', but ...

... wasn't "Timmy Teeple" a character in the "Highlights for Children" mags back in the late '50s/early 60's?

"Jindal had announced a campaign exploratory committee on May 18."

If he's announcing a run, I guess we can all assume that the feedback from the "exploratory committee" was (a) extremely faulty, or (b) is being ignored.

6. Timmy Teeple?

Never heard of him. Was he with Goofus (?) or Gallant? He wanted to be with Gallant, who was so cute and strong and had nice pecs and impeccable manners. He knew how to be polite, sigh.

Or was it Beavis and Butthead? Butthead suits Jindal, smack dab in "the stupid party."

10. i think it's mostly that they see nobody really has much support or a lead in the GOP

when things are so spread out they don't need much to win. they just need a little better than the others.

remember Romney and McCain mostly won by just getting enough to win with having enough opponents to spread the rest of the votes which in many cases where more than romney and mccain got.

5. Bobby was the ugliest kid on Brady bunch.

Just sayin'. Poor Piyush. He should have chosen to name himself after a John Waters character, maybe Cotton. Then he could claim he was named after Cotton Mather. Or maybe he could rename himself after Josh Duggar, who will never be able to hold a job again, thanks to his parents.

7. Is America ready for a president named Piyush?

Or is that, "is America ready for a theocracy?" The answer at least should be no in both cases.

[delrem]

8. I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation.

I truly can't wait 3 whole weeks.
Politicians can be such teases, playing with their fan base.

[rpannier]

9. Yes, because there has been such an outpouring of demand for Jindal to run

I saw all 5 of them the other day hosting a run bobby run rally
I think 3 of the 5 showed up for the free food

[LiberalElite]

13. An the other two were his parents nt

11. Is he going to sing it while changing his shoes?

Welcome, neighbor!

17. OMG that's awful

Tennessee Teepell? Hope those girls are being homeschooled like their daddy because school could be hell for them.

14. I'll clear my calendar for 24 June

I'll clear my calendar for 24 June -- don't want to miss a second of this breathtaking announcement.

[RoccoR5955]

15. For the nth time...

It's PIYUSH, not Bobby.
Please call him by his proper given name!

[Thor_MN]

16. Teepell!! Jindals' advisor is Teepell!!

Maybe Piyush can get the ghost of Chuck Heston to make a appearance.

[Liberalagogo]

18. We are DEEP in the heart of

Griftin' Season!

[Hoppy]

19. I wish I could be there on the 24th to support him but I've got an appointment to have the

lint removed from my belly button.

[douggg]

20. Bobby J wants so badly to be white that he

changed his name to Bobby.

Did he ever change it legally?

Republicans would never run him for the WH. Too dark.

Although he did well in Louisiana, George Allen pegged him as "macaca".

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

26. Man in his 40s who cant let go of a childhood crush on a Brady

nothing weird about that at all.

and, no, he never legally changed his name. Still Piyush.

22. Plenty of room in the Clown Car! OTOH, maybe we should get a Clown Bus!

Overinflated egos take up a lot of space.

[jwirr]

23. Every time I see one of these nutjobs announce for president I am awed by their ability to be so

blinded about their own positions. Most of them have absolutely no chance of winning and will only make fools of themselves. If they cannot see themselves clearly it is no wonder that they are messing up their own states. I actually feel sorry for them.

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Another Koch addict runs for president as a Republican . . .

[Aristus]

25. He'll be writing his announcement speech just as soon as he gets his crayon sharpened.

27. It's a minor announcement. n/t
