Do you remember hearing in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina how everything was President Bush's fault and thus by proxy, the Republican Party's? The media loved to propagate this myth.
Apparently the voters of Louisiana saw through the nonsense to throw out the incompetent Democrat governor, Kathleen Blanco, and elect a new Republican one, Bobby Jindal. He is a maverick, becoming the first Louisiana governor of Indian ethnicity. He's also only 36 years old!
Jindal has promised to clean up the massive corruption of Louisiana politics. It'll be a tough job, but he's a pretty amazing guy!
