Louisiana Suing MoveOn.org For Billboard Criticizing Bubba Jindal!

"They're trying to force us to take down a billboard that calls out Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal—an aspiring presidential candidate—for denying health care to 242,000 people," a Sunday statement from the group reads. "After carefully discussing the matter with our lawyers, we've made a decision: We're leaving our billboard up—even if we have to take this fight all the way to the Supreme Court."

MoveOn's right to use the Louisiana logo in a political advertisement is well established in Trademark Law.

Is there any Republican politician out there who is not a phony baloney? Everything these people say makes no sense, to me or to the courts that must throw out the Republicans' loony complaint.
