La. Gov. Bobby Jindal back when he was the GOP savior
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who famously blasted federal funding for volcano monitoring
just days before a volcano eruption in covered Sarah Palin's home town in ash, had a message for Republicans
earlier this year:
Stop being the stupid party.
And now, one year later, Jindal has
weighed in on A&E's decision to
suspend Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson for making crude homophobic comments in a GQ interview, saying that Robertson and his family are "great citizens of the state of Lousiana" and:
I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.
I'm not about to defend Miley Cyrus as a musician or performer, but if Bobby Jindal can't tell the difference between getting your First Amendment rights violated and getting suspended from a TV show, or the difference between someone promoting sales of a music album and someone starring on an advertiser-supported TV show, or the difference between raunchiness and bigotry, well, then he should take his own advice, and stop being stupid.
