Jindal admits he lied

So now Bobby Jindal admits that he was full of wafto gas when he made up that story about meeting the sheriff during Hurricane Katrina.

A spokesperson for Jindal says the embattled loon actually overheard the sheriff talking about the incident days after it occurred - not while it was going on. Evidently, Jindal did meet the lawman - but just not during the height of the hurricane, as he has claimed.

Jindal actually played no part in letting the rescue boats perform their mission - even though he claimed he had.

Thus, the story that was central to the Republican response to President Obama's speech has now turned out to be a Big Lie.

But, after being caught in a lie, Jindal seems to be playing the victim - in an attempt to burnish his conservative credentials further. It's kind of like Reagan's made-up fable about welfare recipients driving new luxury cars, or Rush Limbaugh's lie about the farmer going to jail for accidentally killing a rat with his tractor.

Now that's tr00thyism!

Seriously, is being a pathological liar a requirement for being a prominent Republican these days?

Talk about a political party crashing and burning.
