Buh-Bye, Bobby!
With an “It’s not my time,” Bobby Jindal’s outta there,
After his quixotic presidential climb went nowhere.
You’d have to be a psychotic pollyanna
To want for the nation what he did for Louisiana.

We are literally at the mercy of buffoons and comedians.
— Democratic startegist James Carville, writing in the LSU student paper Daily Reveille.
