REGNERY Press to publish book by Bobby Jindal
The governor of Louisiana who has been running for public office his whole life will join other brilliant conservative minds like gingrich, chuck norris and MS conservative values herself ann coulter to be published by Regnery so we know it will be fair and balanced.

http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2009/04/jindal.html

The book will be co-written by Peter Schweiser whose body of work includes "non fiction" blockbusters about bush and reagan; thus making it double fail safe that jindal's book will be fair and balanced.

jindal whose only accomplishment is constantly running for office spends the vast majority of his time out of Louisiana to raise money in other states for his reelection bid in 2011 (so he says.) He has been known to come back to the state for photo ops like the recent flooding in Southeast Louisiana.

1. Well, if the book is anything like the last 4 months' worth of speeches,
"Bobby Jingo" should be his moniker.

3. Allow me to get this tome started
Chapter 1: I Wrote A Book!

Good morning. This is a book. A book is a group of printed pages bound together. I wrote{fn1} this book. Thank you very much for buying it. Isn't America a great country?{fn2} Doesn't that bring a grin to your face? It brings a grin to my face. Because I love America and all it stands for.

Chapter 2: Everything That's Wrong With America

Fn 1: Well, "wrote" in the sense that I'll be getting some of your money because you foolishly bought this book.

Fn 2: If you're the right kind of grinning idiot, you can get a lot of money, too! Keep grinning, idiot.


That should do for a start, Bobby. Please send my consulting fee in care of Democratic Underground.

5. I so look forward to the chapter
where the career politician explains why he changed his name to Bobby.

And Yo bobby if life begins at conception and your mother was outside the country when you were conceived (as you have said) could the argument be made that you were not born in Baton Rouge?

10. He explained that on Leno, and it has been discussed here many times.
"Bobby" is a VERY common Indian nickname. There are film stars and singers with the name coming out of Bollywood on a daily basis. Apparently Mr. Jindal, as a youngster, was a fan of the Brady bunch. He saw that there was a Bobby on the show, and subsequently told his classmates at school and his teachers that his nickname was now BOBBY. His teachers told his parents, and they agreed to call him Bobby.

I think Bobby Jindal is a jerk, but the use of the name "Bobby" is a perfect example of "cross-culturalism." He picked a name that would work in both camps. He obviously had political skills at a young age. Pity he didn't learn to use them to better effect...!

4. So anonymous bulk purchases can push it onto the bestseller lists,
and people who haven't even read it can spam Amazon with positive reviews.

Chapter 3....People like Obama better than me and he was a senator

14. Regnery will print 250K of them and sell 1000--and thus, create a NYT bestseller.
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 09:40 PM by blondeatlast
The other 249,000 will be given away with donations to the RNC, the Heritage Foundation, etc. I used to be a library book buyer, I know EXACTLY how Regnery does business.
