Bobby Jindal Vetoes Bill To Reveal BP Documents

11:07 am EST June 27th, 2010 | Environment | 6 Comments

Looks like somebody’s hiding something.

Gov. Bobby Jindal rejected a bill Friday that would have required him to make public and to preserve all his office’s documents involving the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

In his veto letter, the governor said the legislation would have hurt the state’s position in future litigation against BP PLC, the oil giant that leased the rig which exploded April 20 in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and causing the disaster.

Bobby Jindal Hasn’t Activated National Guard Troops On The Spill

6:36 pm EST June 26th, 2010 | Conservative, Republicans | 5 Comments

Another Southern Republican with a big mouth who is unable/unwilling to pull the trigger on action when necessary. Shocker. Maybe Jindal put the Guard on volcano monitoring duty.

Bobby Jindal Rediscovers Federal Government With Oil Spill, Asks For Help

10:50 pm EST April 29th, 2010 | Environment | 20 Comments

Wasn’t this the same guy who a few months ago was decrying federal money spent on volcano monitoring? The same guy lambasting big government, and one of the GOP poster boys for “limited government”.

Yeah. That guy.

Gov. Bobby Jindal asked federal authorities tonight to grant funding for Louisiana National Guard members joining the multi-agency response to the offshore oil spill.

In letters sent late today to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Jindal requested support for up to 6,000 soldiers and airmen for at least 90 days under Title 32 of the U.S. Code, which would allow the Guardsmen to receive military retirement points, health insurance and disability protection.

A the end of the day, Jindal will get the help he needs because the current President isn’t a moron and our federal government is no longer packed to the gills by luddite ideologues paid for by big business.

But the response to Jindal should just be a rousing chorus of “drill, baby, drill”.
