Jindal Fires State Employee Day After She Criticized Him
Edited on Fri Oct-09-09 04:13 PM by Richardo
Source: Huffington Post

Gov. Bobby Jindal's fired a state worker one day after she publicly condemned his plans to privatize state services. He claimed she was terminated for poor performance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, years ago.

<snip>

Melody Teague criticized Jindal during a forum held by the Commission for Streamlining Government. Soon after, the contract grants reviewer was told she was fired for her handling of the state's disaster food stamps program four years ago, in the aftermath of Huricane Katrina.

According to The Advocate, Commission member Leonal Hardman believes that Teague was "unfairly targeted because she spoke out publicly at the streamlining forum."

<snip>

Jindal has a history of firing or attempting to fire critics.

The Palin-Jindal parallels just keep on coming. If you can't stand the heat, become a Republican governor I guess. Then you can either fire everyone 'against' you, or just up and quit outright.

:patriot:

1. Jindy, dear--you fired her for poor performance "years ago?"

YOU WEREN'T HER BOSS YEARS AGO!!!

I think you've handed her grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit!

17. Matbe he prefers Man-on-Dog exorcism
Or is that Rick Santor(ect)um?

It's so difficult to keep Republican sex habits and hobbies straight. (No pun intended.)

10. A slam dunk

I'm betting her evaluations have been positive and there will be no documentation of poor performance.

Jindal is going to go down in flames in court.

9. Does the GOPinhead party have anyone that doesn't act like a spoiled 8 year old?
Is there any way to have a Governor committed for a mental evaluation?
I don't care if he hurts himself, but this moron is hurting an entire state with his nonsensical actions. People of LA, you have my sympathy.

15. I know at least two Republicans who are mature adults,
but neither are in government.

23. I worded that poorly.
I meant the major national politicians but it did sound as though I was slamming all republicans.

My brother is a small town politician in Indiana and I have a feeling that he is probably a Republican due to the conservative nature of the area. He's extremely bright so I guess that there is some sanity in the party.

21. It's time to name something nasty "Jindal"
"Santorum", I'm told, has become the name of an unsavory discharge which I probably
shouldn't define on a family show like this.
But what's Jindal?
Just to get the dung ball rolling, I offer the combination
of toe jam and urine produced peeing in the shower.
Please add suggestions!

22. How can we make it worse?
The name is already associated with this assclown. That's about as bad as it gets.
