Unpopular at Home, Jindal getting little traction for 2016

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal's focus on states important in the presidential campaign is drawing lots of criticism at home and doing little apparent good for his 2016 prospects.

Lost — at least for now — in a pack of better-known White House contenders, Jindal is taking heat in Louisiana for a $1.6 billion budget shortfall that threatens colleges and health care services with deep cuts. Lawmakers from both parties say his national political ambitions are a distraction.

"People, I believe, would love to separate themselves from him," said Republican state Sen. Robert Adley.

Jindal drove Louisiana from a budget surplus to a deficit within MONTHS of the GOP taking over Louisiana.

And he's been so AWOL, even GOP die hards are through with him in Louisiana.

I've had a theory of Narcissism about these clowns for a long time:

* Lots of crossed signals: Some are politicians who really want to be ministers/evangelicals.

* Some are ministers/evangelicals who really want to be show biz entertainers.

* Some are politicians who really want to be ministers/evangelicals or show biz entertainers.

* Almost all of them have something that impressed THEM ABOUT THEMSELVES from a young age -- unusual looks, a snappy name (think "HITLER," Ben CARSON, etc.), and some parental stroking -- that made them think they were special in a really big way. They are DEEPLY in love WITH THEMSELVES.
