Jindal Bells, Sour Notes Dept. 0
Steve Benen on Bobby Jindal’s fantasy world:
When CBS asked why, Jindal said he’s forbidden from deploying more because it’s up to “the Coast Guard and BP” to “authorize individual tasks.”
In reality, Jindal is either deeply confused about something he should understand, or he was lying. Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the national incident commander, said unequivocally that there is “nothing standing in the governor’s way from utilizing more National Guard troops.”
Either he does not understand his job or he does not understand facts.
