Remember when, after the 2012 election ended in debacle for the GOP, Bobby Jindal told the GOP to "stop being the stupid party" if they ever wanted to win another national election? Well, that day seems like a fantasy now, because these days, Jindal has embraced stupidity and then some. We've all been mocking his recent assertion of "no-go" zones in the U.S. and his double down on said ridiculous assertion (may I remind you, this is a theory so ridiculous even Faux News apologized for peddling), but he's not done. Oh no. Bobby's got the presidential bug and therefore, the stupidity will flow, especially if he wants to impress the GOP base.
Now, sane people may think that Jindal's presidential chances are somewhere between non-existent and delusional, as they have been ever since his career-crippling Kenneth the Page impersonation back in 2009. But the presidential bug has a habit of clouding a person's rationality and Bobby still thinks he's got it. (And really, is he any less delusional then this clown? Or this grifter? Or this shrieking Southern-fried coward? Or, God help us, this egomaniacal, toupee-wearing attention whore? The list goes on...) But what issue with Bobby ride to victory in the GOP primary? The whole "no-go" fiasco may not be enough, so he might as well steal a page from Mike Huckabee and do some good old fashioned gay bashing. What kind, you ask? Nothing original, just this old canard:
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Sunday said that he would support a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
Yep, that's a fresh approach, Bobby. Do go on.
ABC's "This Week' host George Stephanopoulos asked Jindal if he backed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's (R) remark that states should just ignore a Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage.
"I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. My faith teaches me that, my Christian faith teaches me that," Jindal responded. "If the Supreme Court were to throw out our law, our constitutional amendment -- I hope they wouldn't do that -- if they were to do that, I certainly will support Ted Cruz and others that are talking about making an amendment in the congress and D.C., a constitutional amendment to allow states to continue to define marriage."
Sorry, Bobby, but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. But hey, if it keeps the homophobic diehards in the GOP ranks all hot and bothered, go for it! You may wind up in fifth place in some primaries instead of in 10th or 12th or whatever.
The presidential bug, folks. It's a dangerous thing. It makes people lose whatever sense they might have had and completely fall into the grips of idiocy. With Bobby, that grip is now a vise and it's not letting go until his feeble presidential dreams go up in ashes. Which, for his sake, I hope is very soon.
