Three cheers for Jindal

"Now, Mr. Jindal, an ardent conservative who attacked big government in his rebuttal speech, is demanding greater federal aid.

Mr.Jindal supports offshore drilling, like most Republicans, but has irked some in his party by excoriating BP and pledging to recoup from it the cost of coastline cleanup and protection. Republicans generally have focused their wrath on Mr. Obama.

Mississippi Republican Gov.Haley Barbour, who said Tuesday that oil has been spotted on Petit Bois Island near the Alabama border, has maintained a lower profile. He has said the Gulf spill shouldn't bring an end to offshore drilling."

I don't expect the media to understand that part of being a conservative is having the federal government be responsible for federal items (federal waters?) and understanding responsibility (we don't bail out organizations that screw up).

It seems to me that Jindal's response is dead on.  Read the article here.
