Jeez, Jendal, make a jerk of yourself much?

[LandOLincoln]

Please tell me he's Republican...

Just told Larry King this would be the first time in the country's history we'd have to rebuild a major American city.

Well, lessee (and off the top of my head)

Washington 1812
Atlanta 1864
Chicago 1871
San Francisco 1906

And I think New Orleans itself has had to be largely rebuilt at least a couple of times before, am I right?

[neuvocat]

1. I think he is actually.

I think he ran against Landrieu for Senate.

[demzilla]

2. He is a Repug

I think he ran against Blanco for gov

[Lindsay]

3. Yeah, he's a Rethug.

How did you guess?

[LandOLincoln]

5. It was my woman's intuition. No, really.... ;-)

[MSgt213]

4. He is a Repub and is a very intelligent guy. Too bad he made a stupid

remark like that.

[blitzen]

8. his reputation for "intelligence" is way overblown, I think....

i've only ever heard him utter inanities....

and his "guns, God, and anti-gay" platform didn't work out to well when he lost the Governor's race to Blanco

[blitzen]

6. a former Bush appointee n/t

[LandOLincoln]

7. Appointee to what? n/t

[blitzen]

10. Asst. Secretary, Health and Human Services

He was a Rhodes Scholar from baton rouge, hence his (overblown) reputation as intelligent

he was an adivisor for our Repug governor, then served in undistinguished manner as head of the University of Louisiana System (not LSU, but the second-tier system), was appointed by Bush to DHHS, then quit to run for Gov. but lost to Blanco, then moved to an all-Repuke district near NO and won his seat in Congress. An asshole opportunist who campaigns on "guns, God, anti-gay"

[LandOLincoln]

12. Hey, watch that. There's Rhodes Scholars, and then there's

Rhodes Scholars. I happen to be a supporter of a Rhodes Scholar who's undeniably brilliant (check my sig line if you have any doubts).

So what was Jendal's specialty/major? (Don't think Brit universities have "majors," do they? Isn't the terminology different? Don't they "take a first" in whatever?)

[EC]

14. Clinton was another Rhodes... n/t

[renie408]

9. Yeah, he is a squeaky little Repuke

Doesn't he sound like Eddie Murphy when he does his 'White Guy' voice??

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

11. um, Galveston? n/t

[LandOLincoln]

13. Sorry, forgot Galveston. But then,

Galveston is in Texas. ;-) 1908, wasn't it?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. He makes me ashamed to be of Indian descent.
