haha..........Bill Maher had an interesting monologue tonight. He talked about Obama's speech and then he came to Bobby Jindal. He said, 'do republicans know Bobby Jindal isn't black?'
Then he said he feels sorry for the people of India. They won so many oscars and then had 2 days to celebrate that victory and then they have to put up with this guy...... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 8:51 PM Subject: {Dawgs/Dittos} Jindal > > > Well, he's a piece of work...check this out!!
