The stupidity of Bobby Jindal: UPDATED
By John Amato Tuesday Sep 22, 2009 12:00pm
Remember Howdy Jindal's abysmal response to President Obama? Well, he's back with more hackery.
You thought Bobby Jindal would have given the ACORN bashing a little more thought, but you see, he's a Stepford Republican, so they all are programmed to give similar responses to conservative stimuli.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) is trying to shore up his anti-ACORN bona fides. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports today that Jindal issued an executive order barring state funds from going to the community organizing group. However, there’s one small kink in Jindal’s plan:
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal issued an executive order to keep any state money from going to the controversy-wracked Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has its national headquarters in New Orleans.
According to the state’s Division of Administration, no state agencies have existing contracts with ACORN.
Wonkette: Bobby Jindal Also Cuts Off Non-Existent Funding To Those ACORN Blacks
Right wing websites respond in kind. Bobby Jindal Halts Funding Of ACORN
UPDATE: Chad Bower of WWLTV.com contacted me earlier and said that two contracts were just discovered that allegedly would pay state funds to ACORN:
The Department of Social Services has identified two contracts that would allegedly have given ACORN federal and state funds under a tax assistance program, and the Governor's Office has told the department to halt that funding.
{}
The two contracts – one for Southeast Louisiana, lead by Total Community Action, Inc., and the other for Southwest Louisiana, lead by the United Way of Southwest Louisiana – included ACORN as a part of the two groups proposals for the 2009 – 2010 tax season, said Frank Collins, a spokesman with the Governo's Office.Collins said the proposals included ACORN in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, and the group would have received federal funds under the program. Because the contract states that state funds would match the federal funds under the program, the program was in violation of Jindal’s recent executive order.
Collins said the DSS will contact the two coalitions Tuesday and tell them that funding would have to be severed to ACORN because of Jindal’s recent executive order.
I want to thank Chad for emailing me so I could update the story. My post was based on the information that was available at the time and since new news has surfaced I've updated the post. He's still not a bright bulb.

But stupid Bobby won't draw like Playboy makes you queer. Unless you have pictures of him in the boat with the Tiger.
He prefers tigers to mules and sheep?
prediliction.
O I C
I did not know that.
how Ricky knows about it... :)
which was written by a Canadian feller. Life With Pie or something like that.
Howdy doody. The GOP puts this guy out front because if you squint your eyes he kind of looks close to the same shade as Obama and that means the GOP is inclusive. See?
I believe the correct quote was "Americans can do Innnnnything"
Including getting possessed by the devil without asking for proof of insurance if you believe Pi Jindal.
No one will know or care that Acorn received no funds and come the next election cycle Jindal will be right there saying that they didn't receive a dime on his watch. It's pretty average politics directed at stupid people and for those people it will work.
Point of grammar. Isn't using Jindal and stupidity in the same sentence redundant?
They believe if you say something stupid over and over 25% of the public will believe it and 75% of major network White House correspondents will ask about it if their name is Tapper.
So does this mean that Jindal is going to stop giving money to the right wing communty orgs. also? Sure and Booby will read his playboy and start cruising the French quarter any day now.
What da hell...this guy's name is Pyiush. What in the hell kind of name is that? And why is he orange? Does he and that "Boner"dude shoe polish eachother. Geeez...what in the hell are those damn republicans thinking...? Pyiush, for God's sake. That's the name of a terrorist. Right....? Why did he change his name? He's up to sumpton.
You need all those arms to do that you know.
.
Boy, everyone is throwing acorns under the bus these days. It's like the cool republican thing to do. Forget about health care reform, let's just toss acorns insead. Acorns do look shiny in the right sunlight.
Bobby also stated he will give no money to pecan growers or peanut farmers. He's damned serious about this nut problem.
without pee can pray leans? Next you will suggest they go without crawdads?
Well if they have to give up bright colored beads, they are doomed!

He reminds me of Jan Hooks Alamo tour-guide in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
It's internet filler.
even if they keep the corn tortillas there.
Now what?
Maybe Bobby can get a photo of himself slapping the can of change out of a homeless guy's hand or beating him on the head with his own squeegee.You know,just to prove his heart's in the right place.
That's the spirit!
already do that once?
that for these Republican hacks a Governorship doesn't actually mean knowing anything about what it is your supposed to be Governor of. See Sarah Palin.
Pawlenty did the EXACT same thing in Minnesota last week (or the week before, all I know is it was about one day after all the librul media didn't cover the story fast enough for the assholes at Fox.)
Pawlenty declared no more funding will go to ACORN and then had to acknowledge they don't get any right now.
Dumb presidential wanna-bes
NOT to answer the phone when J-Lo calls me for a booty call.
When I win the florida lotto this week for several million dollars, I will refuse every penny of it.
Hmmm . . that doesn't sound right.
You're supposed to refuse it when you DON'T win!
You're supposed to refuse it when you haven't even bought a ticket.
Couldn't Bobby just do some magical act and remove all the evil spirits from ACORN?
The Yippies tried that on the Pentagon in the 1960s.
They attempted a "mass exorcism".
Then I believe they tried levitating it.
... that I will not lend Bobby Jindal any money. It's official and everything.
they, like the bears Stephen Colbert talks about, are top-10 threats. THREATDOWN!
Just out of curiousity, how much money did the government give Acorn during the bush years?
I bet.
At least a bushel and a peck.
Jindal is a religious nutter.
It's a good thing they don't find a few bad apples in the republican party because then all their funding would be pulled. Oh, wait a second there.
voted to cut the funding. I've been meaning to write him to ask if they'd cut the funding of Congress if it was discovered that a few Congressional aides ever did anything wrong.
*(NOT a typo! He actual ran as both a Democrat AND a Republican on the 2008 ballot!)
I'll do that right now!
RE: ACORN Funding:
Am I to understand that you are prepared to vote to cut ALL funding for the US Congress should it be discovered that a few Congressional aides have committed questionable acts?? It would certainly seem that way!! In which case I am duty bound as a Citizen of Vermont and the United States of America to inform you that there are numerous cases of Congressional aides and even members of Congress committing seriously questionable acts. And even criminal acts. Should you not vote within the next few days to cut ALL funding for the US Congress I will be duty bound as a Citizen of Vermont and the United States of America to remove you from political office!
Ensign and Vitter and move on to the rest of the rethuglicans.
..for the states to cut salaries of those who work for them whenever they something stupid like this?
Because at this point, that's the only thing they'll listen to..
someone in power concerned about corruption in NOLA?
The dimwitted 10th-er governor of Minnesota did the same, and as well, they weren't giving any funds to Acorn either. I believe this is a big reason that they are so bereft of ideas: They spend so much time chasing ghosts, and slimeing people and organizations, in unison, they have no time for positive thinking.
one that shows just how cruel and vicious the Congressional ACORN-bashers truly are, in this case, a fire & safety grant administered by FEMA, from NOLA.com
State, federal officials cut off money to ACORN
"Meanwhile, the ranking Republicans on two Homeland Security subcommittees have asked FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate to rescind a nearly $1 million grant to the ACORN Institute, a partner organization in New Orleans, to help low- and moderate-income families in 13 cities -- none in Louisiana.
***************
"Brennan Griffin, executive director of the ACORN Institute, said the group received a $450,484 fire prevention FEMA grant last year for a pilot program to help low- and moderate-income families in five cities: Providence, R.I.; Hartford, Conn.; Washington, D.C.; Albuquerque, N.M., and Wilmington, Del. The purpose, he said, was to "conduct in-home assessments of fire safety issues in the houses of low- and moderate-income families."
"Grant money also provides smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, alarms designed for the hearing-impaired and children, and other fire safety equipment free to those who need them."
A disgusting example of how ACORN-bashers value rabid ideology over real lives.
I may have insulted Jar Jar Binks but I don't feel too bad about that.
Take a nice white name like "Bobby" so you can blend in. Comes in handy when you grow up to be a 20%'er in a racist nation. It's OK to vote for a brown republican. His name is Bobby! Problem solved.
He also perpetuates the uninformed, opportunistic, pile-on mentality that motivates these worthless idiots.
Come on COME ON!
Does this fool ever get anything right, lets see he picked his name because it sounded cool (I'll give him that Indian names are hard to pronounce), he picked Catholicism may be because over 80% of LA. is Catholic ( at least he is not a HATE based Protestant),then he monopolizes time with incoherent statement by mixing fact with truth and to make matters worst e is the Governor and does NOT know that he doesn't pay anything to ACORN which is Federally Funded, I guess that fits the bill of Stupidity for the RIGHT no FACTS just talk.
He did after all give himself the name Bobby after the Brady Bunch character of the same name.
He claims:
And we all know how dumb Bobby was.
