Bobby Jindal: Nineteenth Century Schizoid Man

Well, we already knew that he is into thinly-veiled quasi-sexual assaults exorcisms.

Now, it appears he’s into returning to those thrilling days of yesteryear when everyone’s livelihood was dependent on perpetual genuflection to the lord of the manor guv-nah.

From HuffPo:

Gov. Bobby Jindal’s fired a state worker one day after she publicly condemned his plans to privatize state services. He claimed she was terminated for poor performance in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, years ago.

Of coooooouuuuuuuuuuuuurse she was.

Melody Teague criticized Jindal during a forum held by the Commission for Streamlining Government. Soon after, the contract grants reviewer was told she was fired for her handling of the state’s disaster food stamps program four years ago, in the aftermath of Huricane Katrina.

According to The Advocate, Commission member Leonal Hardman believes that Teague was “unfairly targeted because she spoke out publicly at the streamlining forum.”

In a statement, Chairman Whittington said, “For all of his talk about ethics reform, how ethical is it to fire a state employee for expressing her opinion publicly at a forum?”

Jindal has a history of firing or attempting to fire critics.

In July, the Associated Press reported that Jindal attempted to force out Board of Elementary and Secondary Education appointment Tammie McDaniel after she questioned a state official’s budget decisions.

Just imagine what he would have done to them if they’d criticized his track record of engaging in medieval-ish religious assaults on women.

One Response to Bobby Jindal: Nineteenth Century Schizoid Man

  1. Please refrain from demonizing people with disabilities, particularly mental disabilities. The title’s use of the term “schizoid” marginalizes those with schizophrenia, painting them as a highly irrational group of people willing to make ethics violations (as Jindal did) to silence those deigning to disagree with them.

    I find the tag “Random nutty fundies” problematic for similar reasons, particularly on a blog focusing on, as the header states, “full inclusion.”
