This is NOT a joke. It is real.
From Politico:
"In an interview with Curtis Sliwa on ABC Radio last night, the host and RNC Chairman Michael Steele jokingly linked Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to the film "Slumdog Millionaire." Steele offered Jindal "slum love.
Here's the transcript:
SLIWA: Now, using a little bit of that street terminology, are you giving him any Slum love, Michael?
STEELE: (laughter)
SLIWA: Because he is — when guys look at him and young women look at him — they say oh, that's the slumdog millionaire, governor. So, give me some slum love.
STEELE: I love it. (inaudible) ... some slum love out to my buddy. Gov. Bobby Jindal is doing a friggin' awesome job in his state. He's really turned around on some core principles — like hey, government ought not be corrupt. The good stuff ... the easy stuff.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Here is the AUDIO.
Is this guy trying too hard, or what?
What's next, break dancing?
Will he do the human beat box?
Or maybe he will start talking in "dizzles."
As you may know, this is all part of his new "hip hop" strategy.
This is only going to get more fun to watch.
