Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (The Next Ronald Reagan)

Worth reading: this profile of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (who is, according to Rush Limbaugh, the "next Ronald Reagan"). According to author Deepa Fernandes "Jindal has been accused of snubbing NAACP invitations and was given an F rating on issues of race for his policy choices and political stances." During protests in the Jena Six case, in which six black teenagers were charged with second-degree attempted murder after a school fight, Jindal told a group of students that the protesters were "outside agitators." (Sound familiar?)
