Another forum post for the edification of my beloved reading audience:

Enjoy.
Jindal, though he won by a landslide, is not as well loved here as
many would have you believe. His electoral victory was more a case of
the media propping him up, and our recent experience with Katrina &
Rita that propelled him into office. (He also narrowly lost to Blanco
the last time around, he was propped up by the media then also, but she
pulled it out in a runoff, trailing at that)
His 'ethics' reform is a sham as it can't be enforced and he is granting his administration extensions for compliance.
He has one of the most 'closed door' administrations in memory.
He reluctantly vetoed a MASSIVE legislative pay raise. They still
got a raise, which he signed, just not as big as they were asking for.
(which led many to believe that they asked for an excessive amount just
so they could 'compromise' and still get a hefty pay hike)
Other than that, he's a dud.
(oh and his Secretary of State refused to Barr on the ballot here,
even though he qualified, no matter your personal opinion of Barr, that
stinks)
