A poll "Who's more clueless?!1" JINDAL called Mika "mica (my-cah)". Jeb hired a Neanderthal"hipster"

Back when, JINDAL crashed in delivering the Rethug Response to the President's speech. This week he joked about being "White." This morning he called Mika "my-cah" and he tried to plug in memorized talking points to random questions. Just wondering, does he have any support staff to research and coach for him? Not that I'm complaining, really.

[font size=5]New Jeb Bush Hire Deletes Comments About Sluts, Gays from Twitter [/font]

Earlier today, Time magazine reported that Jeb Bush was bringing on Hipster.com co-founder Ethan Czahor as his new Chief Technology Officer, hailing the hire as [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]a savvy move[/FONT] by a party that often struggles with social media. And they weren't wrong—by Monday afternoon Czahor had already made his mark on the web, thanks to his awful, awful tweets about sluts and gay people.

As Buzzfeed noticed, the offending tweets began to disappear from Czahor's timeline soon afterward, making it especially easy to identify the tech whiz's ugliest attempts at dumb bro humor.

Hours later, Bush's new CTO finally demonstrated his value by offering an expert non-apology, ruefully hashtagged #learning and #maturing.

[font size=5]Jeb Bush Hires Co-Founder of Hipster.com[/font]

Republicans have long struggled to catch-up to Democrats on [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]high-tech voter outreach[/FONT] as well as [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]courting younger voters[/FONT]. Jeb [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Bush may have found a way to kill two birds with one stone[/FONT].

The former Florida governor has tapped the co-founder of Hipster.com as his chief technology officer, according to his LinkedIn profile. Ethan Czahor, a Santa Monica-based technologist, will run the preparations for Bush’s presidential run at his political action committee, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Right to Rise[/FONT].

Last week Czahor developed the microsite [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]jebspeech[/FONT].com, which accompanied Bush’s address to the Detroit Economic Club domain registration records show.

Hidden in the website code was a message to would-be Bush coders: “Want to work on the greatest political tech stack ever created?”

Czahor served as the CTO of [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Ready to Win[/FONT], the for-profit company founded by investor and former [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]J. Crew[/FONT] CEO Dick Boyce to boost the Republican Party’s technological efforts before the 2016 presidential campaign.

He co-founded the short-lived local Q&A and photo-sharing site Hipster.com, which was purchased by AOL in 2012. He also was the vice president of engineering at The Honest Company, the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Jessica Alba[/FONT]-backed non-toxic diaper and consumer goods company.

It's like when Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann calls themselves 'geniuses'.
