Jindal vs. the volcano

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (who must have drawn the short straw) in the Republican "response" to Obama's stimulus package. 


Here's his "Councilman Les Whinen" quote

..and $140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring.'
Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington DC.

Snap touche! Why does the government needs to monitor volcanoes? Or tornadoes? Or even.. hurricanes?

If there’s one piece of government stimulus the governor of a state like Louisiana shouldn't mock, it’s early monitoring for natural disasters!

After this stimulus obstruction and the California budget debate, I think it's best for everyone if the Republican party just goes away for awhile.
