Jindal’s Jihad

If you haven’t heard, the neocons are having Louisiana governor – their next Sarah Palin – Piyush “Bobby” Jindal give the nutjob…I mean, Republican… rebuttal to President Obama’s (I love saying that!) speech tonight. This guy is just as scary as Palin, perhaps even scarier, as he was a Rhodes scholar, and therefore has a tad more brainpower than Caribou Barbie. A Hindu-turned-Catholic (at least publically), his background is disturbing in that he seems to be quite chameleon-like in his ability to blend into his environment in his quest for power.

Here is an interesting read from a Louisiana native that covers Jindal’s history, conversion to Catholicism, brush with the devil, and more. Has some links to articles that Jindal himself published in the mid-90s about wrestling with his faith and his part in an illegal exorcism.

I think we’ll have some fun with this guy when the Repubs trot him out as their 2012 candidate…
