Jindal Clueless About His Own State
When serving in the Louisiana Congress after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast now Gov. Bobby Jindal blasted the Bush administration for “widespread incompetence of the federal, state and local government response.”
But as Jindal makes a news show tour to promote expanded drilling off the shores of Louisiana he appears to be incompetent about what has happened in his own state. On Fox Noise this exchange cured:
Question: Real fast, Governor, the price of oil went up five bucks a barrel today. You’ve been drilling off the coast of Louisiana for a number of years. Any oil spills to worry about?
JINDAL: You know, that’s one of the great unwritten success stories, after Katrina and Rita, these awful storms, no major spills.
Well it appears Jindal is totally clueless about the happenings in he own state post Katrina. The Minerals Management Service reported that 113 oil platforms were “totally destroyed”—a total of 124 offshore spills. In fact the damage was so serve you could see the spills from space (picture here) The EPA called the spills “worse than the worst-case scenario.”
