JINDAL IN ACTION – AT 8:41 P.M. ET: Contrast please the active performance of Republican Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, in the face of the Gulf oil spill, with the passivity of former Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco in the face of Katrina. I guarantee you that the mainstream media will not do a contrasting report.
As thick oil flows into the sensitive marshes of the Louisiana coast, Gov. Bobby Jindal called on the White House and BP today to either stop the oil spill or get out of his way.
Jindal is still waiting for the federal government to provide millions of feet in boom and to approve an emergency permit for a state plan to dredge and build new barrier islands to keep the oil from reaching the marshes and wetlands.
Jindal is so desperate for the islands, he's said he'll build them even if it sends him to jail.
And Eric Holder would send him to jail.
"We've been frustrated with the disjointed effort to date that has too often meant too little, too late for the oil hitting our coast," Jindal said.
Anyone at CNN noticing?
