Fascinating interview with Frank Schaeffer who’s father was one of the founders of the “Religious Right”.

YouTube – D.L. Hughley: Frank Schaeffer Author of Crazy for God on What’s Left of the GOP.

After running out of fresh faces, the Republicans tapped Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to give the “Republican response” to Obama’s “not quite the state of the union” address to congress this week.

In his speech, Jindal cited the government response to Katrina as an example of why govenment is bad.   It floors me that no one in the Republican party thought that bringing up the Katrina debacle might be a bad idea.  Apparently Jindal thought it was a good idea.

But apparently not good enough, because now it appears the cute little anecdote that he used in his speech…you know, the one about the Sherriff yelling over the phone in frustration because the “bureaucrats” wouldn’t let people launch their rescue boats without proof of insurance?

Well, turns out it wasn’t true.

What goes on in these Republican meetings?   Srusly
