EXCERPT:

But with GOP politicians already jockeying for the 2012 primary, Jindal is emerging as a top contender.

"From the insiders I'm talking to, Jindal's in the top three, right next to Palin and Romney. He's the rock star of the Republican Party right now," says Jeff Crouere, the former executive director of the Louisiana GOP and host of daily political talk show Ringside Politics.

But as the country gets acquainted with the Bayou's boy wonder, the stranger details of Jindal's religious or personal background remain largely unknown, even among the Republican grassroots. How many Americans know that Jindal boasted of participating in an exorcism that purged the spirit of Satan from a college girlfriend? So far, Jindal's tale of "beating a demon" remains behind the subscription wall of New Oxford Review, an obscure Catholic magazine; only a few major blogs have seized on the story.

Born in Baton Rouge in 1971, Jindal rarely visited his parents' homeland. His birth name was Piyush Jindal. When he was four years old, Piyush changed his name to "Bobby" after becoming mesmerized by an episode of The Brady Bunch.

5. Funny we were told the same thing about Sarah Failin last year.
I'd be cautioning the other side not to overestimate their idiots, but I'm more than happy to see them have no chance in future races.

6. The Repugs are counting on his creepy similarity to Obama
Except that he's a Republican. After all, they all look the same to a Republican redneck beer swilling racist right?

Is it just me that see's this, or are Jindel's eyes only 10 millimeters apart?

8. I read his account of the exorcism at HuffPo.
The guy is really out there, and has some very disturbing views.

12. I think most Catholics are too sober to approve of exorcism.
But it probably won't hurt him with Pentecostalists!
