Well he just won re-election by a landslide. Which has us here at the Bucket wondering if he&#8217;ll be the next Republican candidate to join in the fun that is Con-a-thon 2012. He was very highly touted by the GOP in 2009 until he gave his rebuttal to President Obama&#8217;s state of the union address. Could he be the next flavor of the month for the Republicans?\u00a0 Here&#8217;s an article and photo-toon from our April 8, 2009 issue to refresh our memories.<\/p>\n<h3>Jindal Sez It\u2019s Okay To Want Democrat Presidents To Fail<\/h3>\n<p>Republican Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, who was widely panned by both parties for his less than stellar rebuttal to Obama\u2019s State of the Union address, defended Rush Limbaugh and others who have openly wished President Obama to fail with his agenda at a recent press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoys and girls of the United States of America,\u201d said Jindal in a mild sing-song voice, wearing a casual red sweater, tie, slacks and sneakers. \u201cWe truly are living in exciting times aren\u2019t we? We\u2019ve got the very first African American President; we\u2019ve got another thrilling season of American Idol; and our economy is on the verge of completely saying bye-bye. But you know what isn\u2019t exciting? It\u2019s when people say other people shouldn\u2019t say things. And that\u2019s what\u2019s happening today boys and girls. Poor Republican party members like Boss Rush Limhogg are yelled at for saying innocent things like \u2018I want President Obama to fail\u2019. Poor Boss Limhogg. Poor Republicans. Why are we conservatives always the victim of mean attacks by the liberal media? That\u2019s right boys and girls; like that sweet angel Ann Coulter says, the liberal media is bad and they\u2019re out to get us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow I know what some of you liberals are thinking. You\u2019re saying well didn\u2019t Republicans say during the Bush presidency that we should always support the President no matter what? Didn\u2019t the Republicans say things like \u2018you\u2019re either for us or against us\u2019 or \u2018people need to watch what they say\u2019? Didn\u2019t the Republicans say Democrats supported the terrorists? Well, yes but that was different. We had a great, brave, Republican President back then named George W. Bush. Yaaaaay! Now we have an evil, liberal, Democrat as President. Remember how bad President Clinton was? Booooooo! That means it\u2019s perfectly okay for all good American boys and girls to say to the President, \u2018You\u2019re a liberal and you obviously hate America. Just look how much you made Glenn Beck cry. You\u2019re a bad, bad man, so I hope you fail.\u2019 It\u2019s just that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll us poor, persecuted Republicans are saying is that the only way to heal our nation\u2019s boo-boos is with tax cuts. Yes boys and girls, tax cuts to the wealthiest of Americans are like medicine that will make all our owies better real soon. You see, rich people know best about spending and investing money, so they should have more of it. You shouldn\u2019t have to worry your pretty little heads about something hard like investing. The smart, rich people will do that and the money will trickle down to you\u2026in about 70 to 100 years. Giving money to dumb things like volcano monitoring and alternative transportation will only make us sad. And we want to be happy don\u2019t we boys and girls? Besides who do you trust more: the big, bad, evil tax and spend liberal Democrat government\u2026booooooo; or the nice, rich, corporate CEOs who only want a happy stock market\u2026yaaaaaay! I think you all know the answer to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prominent Republicans voiced support for Jindal. Fox News personality Glenn Beck said, \u201cThis Jindal guy truly understands what it means to be a conservative Republican. I think St. Ronald Reagan would be proud. Oh God. Here I go again. I\u2019m getting misty.\u201d He then paused and wiped a small, small tear from his eye. \u201cGod Bless America. God Bless America.\u201d Fellow Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Bill O\u2019Reilly rushed over and gave Beck a consoling hug. Then O\u2019Reilly barked to the cameras, \u201cAre you happy now, liberals?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican Party Boss, Rush Limhogg said, \u201cI like this Jindal kid. He\u2019s a good, useful little lackey. He knows his place. Hey! Steele! Get back here! You missed a spot on my boots. And take off your hat! I need an ashtray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most conservative Republicans from all over the country responded favorably to Jindal\u2019s statement. Todd Murphy of Rancid Holler, Georgia said, \u201cOh man I feel so\u2026ummm\u2026what\u2019s the word I\u2019m lookin\u2019 fer\u2026good. I mean I think that the Democrats are so \u2026ummm\u2026bad. But what Jindal done said, I think Republicans will do real\u2026.ummm\u2026good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pete Junkins of Curtisvilleton, Missouri said, \u201cI like Jindal and all but I\u2019m still gonna vote for Sarah Palin in 2012. I hear she hunts wolves in a bikini. Man that\u2019s so hot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean Grayhill of Felderkarb, Tennessee said, \u201cHe talks to me like I\u2019m an eight year old and you know what\u2026I like it. The easier my leaders make it for me to understand, the better. I really don\u2019t like thinking all that much. Oh look; a shiny nickel. I\u2019m going to stare at it for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reverend Fred Devlin of Dillweed, Virginia said, \u201cI think with a Jindal-Palin ticket in 2012, we will most definitely see the Rapture. Come and get us Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeb Dean Bob Jones of Burnt Cesspool, Texas said, \u201cAll I know is I just got done watching Glenn Beck and I can\u2019t stand to see a grown man fake cry like a little lady. I\u2019m ready to join the revolution. President Chuck Norris of Texas forever! Where\u2019s my AK-47? Yeeeeeee-haaaaaawwwww!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jindal closed his conference by saying, \u201cNow everybody get to bed now and dream little dreams of fast cars, guns and Jesus. Sleep tight and don\u2019t let the liberals bite.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-762\" style=\"width: 468px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=762\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-762\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-762\" title=\"mrjindalsneighborhood\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mrjindalsneighborhood.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mrjindalsneighborhood.jpg 468w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/mrjindalsneighborhood-280x300.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 85vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal addresses the good little boys and girls of the United States on the Republican cure for all of our nation&#8217;s owies.
