Possible VP Pick for McCain Battled Satan -- And Won!

The title of this post sounds facetious, but in fact, Bobby Jindal, the governor of Louisiana says it is literal. He wrote an essay in 1994 claiming he took part in an exorcism where he battled Lucifer and won! That's bad ass. Now that's the kind of experience we need in the White House. If he can beat the Devil imagine what he can do Al Qaeda.

Just when you thought the Republicans couldn't get any more nuts, Governor Jindal is here to prove you wrong. Listen for the unbelievable details here:





This guys is being considered for the VP slot by McCain. Now, I'm not going to put this on McCain. I doubt he knew about the exorcism, or approves of battling Satan in your down time. And he hasn't even picked Jindal. This is part of the normal vetting process and I hope Jindal has now been effectively vetted out of consideration.

So, putting the McCain connection aside, how did this guy get to be governor? Atheists who believe in a rational world have no chance in politics in this country, but stark raving mad guys like this are considered legitimate and electable? What does that tell you about us? Now, that's the real scary thought.
