I met him briefly at LSU Law over the holidays, I guess he was just in the neighborhood and stopped in to talk to some of the faculty.

Very pleasant guy.

Who here knows him personally?

He looks nice enough. He also looks like a serial killer

He was so awkward on the Dick Clark New Years thing

don't know him personally, but I think it was wrong that he abandoned Bobby Boucher at such a young age.

He's a piece of shite, I swear you are the biggest new shill on here.

BTW did you ask about the multi-faceted federal investigation into his family's shitty little fiefdom?

Bobby Jindal was an utter arse going in Starbucks back while he was in congress. Rude to customers, his staff, and the employees.

Good guy, as far as I know; most people have a public and private persona. Being a Professional Democratic Politician; that comes with highly controversial Ideological qualifiers in today's body politic.

He has made his deal with the Devil. Good guy in person or not, as Governor he is far from a good guy.

I knew him years ago when he was in the House. He was a selfish liberal who obeyed the special interest groups 100%. No concern for the general public or the economy at all, just the liberal groups and liberal ideas. Might as well be from Chicago or Milwaukee.

You sound bitter. If his constituents elect him he has to work for them.

If Louisiana didn't want him as Governor then why did they elect him?

Just making a point.

People vote for a candidate, but they also vote against candidates.

Methinks many voted against Vitter; thus handing the election to Edwards.

It works that way sometimes.

A good guy. Doing the best he can in a state populated by dumbasses.

If you met him thats him, he will be the first to tell you he isnt good at politics but does what he thinks is right and best for the state.

Nice enough guy.

Little bit of an ego, can be vindictive if crossed. But if you grade on a curve against other politicians he would be above the average for being a decent person at least according to my experiences.

That said, it seems like he is personally trying to strangle job growth in LA.

I did during his first term in the Legislature. Seemed like a nice enough guy, but there's plenty of nice guys who squander your hard-earned tax dollars with their votes.

And yes, his family runs Tangipahoa Parish like the mob. Nice family business they got there.

Personally & professionally he supported Obama, Hillary, Landrieu et al. Enough said. As was said all during the election, to deaf ears, study his Legislative committee votes & he voted the hard core DNC policies right down the line.
