Me, Too! Bobby Jindal Signs Onto Republican Senators' Letter To Iran



Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on Tuesday signed the letter from Republican senators warning Iranian leaders against negotiating a nuclear deal with the United States, according to a statement from leading signatory Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).

The governor joined 47 GOP senators who signed the letter aimed at derailing the negotiations and undermining President Obama.

Jindal announced his support for the letter Tuesday on Twitter and criticized Obama for calling the letter a partisan attempt to undercut the negotiations.

Read the tweets.... Bobby, psst. serious contenders don't go around referring to a sitting president as "the occupant" - posters on political forums might (we did), but we aren't a sitting governor, and are not running for president. Besides, your tweets make you look like an adolescent trying to fit in with "the cool kids."

PS Some of those you are chasing are never going to be viewed seriously by most of the electorate, that is - those who vote in the general election. Maybe you shouldn't try so hard to be "cool". Remember those adolescent peer pressure lectures in health class? Those lessons might be helpful to review.

It's like there is a cult in the GOP that you have to join to have a shot at elected high office... are they forced to take dumb pills or something?

This guy repeated the already debunked (and *gasp* apologized for on air on Fox) the No Go Zones. He doesn't have access to snopes? Or his speech writer hates him so much that he feeds him this material?

Lol to the skit - I think I will now see it when I see Jindal.

Whatever smarts they may have are used to support and defend their erroneous presuppositions. It's mental!

BTW, that skit works for Rubio too.
