Not to be outdone by the NY Puke, the Washington Pravda has this "objective story" or piece of "journalism" from it's front pages

Louisiana governor Jindal takes active role in dealing with spill

OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO -- Strapped into a National Guard Black Hawk, peering down at green water mottled with oil sheen, the most serious man in Louisiana is starting to sound ridiculous.

Over the helicopter's intercom, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) is explaining to the mayor of New Orleans about two of the state's efforts to keep back the oil slick. One is named for a Mexican-food entree. The other is named for a Cajun sausage.

The "burrito levee" and the "boudin bag" are part of a vast effort, overseen by Jindal, to hold back a slick that is already spitting up tar balls onto the state's coast. He also has a plan to create more Louisiana, building new barrier islands in the oil's path.

"It makes so much sense. It's so obvious. We gotta do it," Jindal said into his headphones. His call for a major government response stands in apparent contrast to his previous calls for small government.

Excuse me Dave..."His call for a major government response stands in apparent contrast to his previous calls for small government." This is what a state government with a major seashore is supposed to do. Yes, protection of its coast comes under the preview of state control. But more to the point, a smart swipe against the Governor is something for the Editorial pages or columns...then again with Washington Pravda, is there any difference?
