JINDAL EXPLOITS DEAD MARINES FOR POLITICAL GAIN
JUL 17 Bobby Jindal didn't wait for the blood spilled by a shooter at a USMC recruiting office to dry before he was firing off press releases about Thursday's attack. He gave his press release to Breibart first, and it was posted just hours after the event. Although he admitted it's too early to tell what happened - especially for him, since he has absolutely nothing to do with the situation - he also said it supports his claims about "radical Islam" and how evil is after us all. Stay classy, Piyush.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT THOSE STATUES? GILL HAS A PROPOSAL
JUL 17 Leave it to columnist James Gill to come up with a "plan" to replace all the big Confederate monuments in NOLA with "appropriate" new ones. His soliloquy takes the current conversation to its logical, if absurd, end. Seems it might be smarter to replace these human figures with something abstract instead.
Friday's Blogs from the Bog!
Bobby jumps all over the murder of four US Marines to get his name in the papers. Nice! Also today, a crazy shooting in NOLA and Jay Ducote is still in the running.
