'Tanned. Rested. Ready.’

[DonViejo]

New Orleans Times Picayune: “That’s the slogan on Gov. Bobby Jindal’s first official campaign shirt. And yes, ‘tanned’ is supposed to be a reference to Jindal’s brown skin tone.”

“Jindal used a similar line about being ‘tanned’ in his official presidential campaign launch… National media has seized on Jindal’s relationship with the Indian community, and the Jindal campaign has found some of the coverage and reporting offensive.”

1. I find that sort of charming.

Not without unpleasant associations, but possibly the least offensive thing ever to come out of his campaign. If he can run on being brown, that is a sort of progress.

2. so he 'fesses up to being brown...how about using his real name?

Bobby seems to roll of the baggers tongue a lot easier than Piyush.

4. Why, you mean old racist, you!

No, srsly, La. repukes play the race card whenever a Dem calls Booby by his given name.

7. yet they loved to emphasis Hussein...like it was important

names apparently have meaning to baggers...they should clearly need to know the reality of those they are endorsing. lol

3. I guess they don't know this bit of political history: that was Nixon's line!

8. Did Nixon say that himself? I thought it was a post-Watergate joke.

5. #BobbyJindalIsSoWhite someone tried to pour red beans over him.

6. He's got one of three right, maybe two...

But he sure as heck ain't ready.

9. I swear these fools are actually shills for our party

Its now just show bizz about show bizz .

11. Is this for real?

"Rested"? Is being governor of Louisiana like a vacation or something? I guess he's not going for that "hard working" image.


... and that's ignoring the history of this slogan.
