Jindal Takes Helicopter To Church At Taxpayer Expense

The Advocate:

On Father's Day this year, Gov. Bobby Jindal settled into a state helicopter with two staff members and flew to church services in Springhill.

A week later, state records show, he was in Dry Creek, again to attend church. The weekend after that it was a church in Monroe.

Fly Jindal fly up,up to the sky,
Why Republicans are obsessed with churches?

[madtom]

Don't cry for me, Argentina.

[Jack Barron]

It's so he can be closer to Jeebus.

Piyush, his birth name, has been a complete failure as Governor of LA. He was a horrible HOR as well. I attempted to see him about a legit issue, all I got was lip service and appeasement from his stafff, zero real support. That the GOP is even looking at this nothing, shows just how desperate they are. The sheeple of LA know very well what a zero he is as a leader. He became gov by default, no serious opposition.

It doesn't matter how many churches you go to. It won't change your sexual orientation. Sorry, Bobby.

LEAVE BOBBY ALONE!....­........;^­p

Marvelous. He is able to multi-task. How about your criticism of Obama's numerous trips? Jindal conducts state business, according to the article, and is able to visit local churches, a good source of information and enlightenment about the communities he visits.

[BIG JOHN]

THE DOG IS AT IT AGAIN I SEE.

[Harvee Wallbanger]

Really I don't have a problem with this. He is, after all, the Guvna. And he uses the trips for more than just worship - he campaigns.

LOL - but seriously, Louisianans should decide whether its ok, not me as I don't live there.

[shotgunblast]

So he uses state money for worship AND campaigning?

[Harvee Wallbanger]

I really don't know what else you would call it. But, hey, at least he's not using the state funds to chase skirts like some Guvnas in other states do.

[Berettasskeeter]

Sort of the way Obama works, isn't it?

[Heartlight3]

Doesn't the Catholic Church consider it a sin to attend a non-Catholic church?

[OneTop]

No

[wadenelson1]

There must be ONE Republican who doesn't believe they deserve a life of privilege.

[OneTop]

Plato ?

[mrpuddles]

Nice try. The Obamas paid to stay there; not the taxpayer. Yes the taxpayer did pay for Secret Service et al but he'll have Secret Service no matter where he goes. Just like Bush did went he went to his pretend ranch in Crawford, Texas.

[shotgunblast]

Yup yup.

[Berettasskeeter]

Which pretend ranch are you speaking of? I only know of the one with the old houses (updated inside of course), where he runs a few cattle and lives the life he has bought and paid for. He works it, just as Reagan did his ranch. So, what pretend ranch are you speaking of?

Well gee doesn't everyone take a helicopter to church?

[shotgunblast]

Pa lin doesn't count.

She can cap some wildlife on the way.

[GrantedBKNY]

How entitled he is. Using the fruits of others to display his devotion.

[Goosed]

He's taking a helicopter to get to places that are 2-3 hours away by car. Amazing. Even if he was conducted really important state business at the same time as these church visits, taking a helicopter to get to a city 2-3 hours away is crazy.
