Baltimore Sun puts picture of wrong South Asian man for Jindal.

In a segment on the future of the GOP leadership published today, the Baltimore Sun puts the wrong picture of a South Asian male for its profile of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Jindal’s actual picture is on the right:

Update The Sun has changed the incorrect picture.

    ooops. Or, maybe the Sun decided to have their ‘macaca’ moment.

    It’s yet another Divine Miracle! First the Lord showed His will on Tuesday night, now He shows His will by showing the picture of someone intelligent and effective, not Bobby (How to Exorcise At Home) Jindal! Let’s hear it for the Lord, Amen!
    Impeach, while There’s Still Time!

    Surprised the morons didn’t use a picture of the chief from F-Troop.

    He will become the next “sarah palin” for the Repugs …… as soon as people figure out what he REALLY looks like. (Or not)

    Sometimes, the universe decides to pay people back for their perfidy, and do it with a sense of humor and irony….

    The GOP has been hot on him for awhile, and he’s certainly smarter and better prepared than Palin. It would be pretty freaky, especially for their “base”, to have one dark guy running against another in 2012. The Appalachian crowd wouldn’t know whether to shit or go blind.

    Someone must have said something when they tried to put a picture of Abu from The Simpsons.


  9. upside99 says:

    gummitch,

    He was on the short list as the VP pick along with Crist. I think either of them would have been a better choice.

    The Repugs ar now running as a headless horse. And you know things are bad when Mitch McConnell is the top dog in the party.

    Heh Heh

    bagdude; or.. a picture of Krusty the Klown.


  11. Mr Blifil says:

    Man, that Jindal looks like a tough, brick-chewing ass-kicker…oh wait, who’s the dude that looks like Alfred E. Newman?


  12. gummitch says:

    I’m pretty sure the photo they used is of Fareed Zakaria, from Newsweek.


  13. pintosahab says:

    As an Indian woman I say this sincerely – Jindal is an asswipe who belongs to the stone age (even those folks would want to throw him out) and I couldn’t be more shameful of someone who shares my heritage.


  14. pintosahab says:

    shameful or ashamed? sorry, my brain still hasn’t recovered from watching chimpy pretend to be emotional when talking to his staff.


  15. Zooey says:

    Seriously, they don’t all “look alike.” Get a clue.


  16. MapleStreet says:

    Does Jindal have that bad a deviated septum ?


  17. ScaryBrownHusseinChick (ThinkOutsideTheBush) says:

    LOL, I’m brown and I wouldn’t have noticed unless someone pointed it out. Now that you mention it, the guy on the left has better a better haircut and more eyebrows than Jindal.


  18. ElBruce says:

    Meh, kinda looks like him if he was 10 years older and 30 pounds heavier. Maybe it’s a picture of Jindal from the future!


  19. ScaryBrownHusseinChick (ThinkOutsideTheBush) says:

    Argh, we forgot to read the fine print!!! “This is Bobby Jindal and I approve this better looking wrong picture.”


  20. dae says:

    Jindal’s another know-nothing Flintstone rethuglican who thinks his ancestors walked with dinosaurs.


  21. Anacher Forester says:

    The Freepers were pushing a Jindal/Palin or Palin/Jindal 2012 ticket while McCain’s political corpse was still warm. Do we need any more proof that these people are delusional?

    Be careful. Do not underestimate this man. Bobby Jindal is a potent force. He has a reputation for getting things done and is pretty popular here in Louisiana. He had bi-partisan support because he has shown himself to be an advocate for the people of Louisiana, no matter what their political affiliation. The best thing that happened for him this year was that he was busy with Hurricane Gustav when the Republican convention was going on. Because of that, he didn’t get roped in to participating in the losing effort, but managed to stay above it all, helping the citizens of his state in a crisis. Make no mistake about it, he is ambitious, personable, smart and popular.

    So was Sarah Palin before people got to know who she really was.

    QUESTION
    Why can’t (R)epublicans borrow that (R) for a decent spell checke(R) and p(R)oof (R)eader?

    ANSWER:
    Because they’re too busy using it for (R)acist, (R)epugnant and (R)egressive ideals.

    Bilbo,
    Again, let me warn you. Bobby Jindal is no Sarah Palin.
