Seriously I dont get it. Are the Conservatives (moreover is Jindal personally) so absurd that they (he) would mock a high speed rail and then request it from the Stimulus plan. Jindal makes up a story about rescue boats and a sheriff and now it turns out his comments mocking high speed rail come on the tail of his own admin. trying to get $110,000,000 for a high speed rail itself! I know politicians on both sides are absurd but where has the 'art of the lie' gone - GOP is not even trying to use persuasive arguement anymore.
I think it is a mistake. I think they will fall much farther than the corrupt Dems of the 90's if they keep this up. They cannot play the Rove game of the last 8 years - that has played its course. The time for bald-faced lies is over. They need to work some mojo into their game or they will become a laughing-stock.
