Plotkin: Jindal Leading Louisiana by Showing Residents How to Get the Hell Out of the State.

Gov. Bobby Jindal is exemplifying superb leadership by repeatedly demonstrating how Louisiana residents can improve their lives by leaving the state, his chief of staff Kyle Plotkin said.

Plotkin’s comments come during increased criticism of the governor’s out-of-state travels amid a growing budget crisis. Many of Jindal’s critics point to his numerous visits to Iowa and New Hampshire, as well as his 10-day European trip, for which he departed shortly after proposing a $300 million funding cut to an already decimated higher education system.

“They say leading by example is the most effective form of leadership, especially for people too stupid to learn otherwise. Well, that’s exactly what the governor is doing.”

“Gov. Jindal is proving himself to be a remarkable leader by showing Louisiana citizens how to make a better life for themselves by getting the hell out of this hellhole,” Plotkin said Friday. “They say leading by example is the most effective form of leadership, especially for people too stupid to learn otherwise. Well, that’s exactly what the governor is doing.”

Plotkin said Jindal’s detractors, many of whom insist he’s ignoring the state’s myriad problems by logging thousands of miles in an attempt to lay the foundation for a likely run for the White House, are missing the big picture by failing to recognize the presumptive presidential candidate’s deeper motives, which Plotkin claims also involve luring new commerce to Louisiana.

“The governor is helping attract business to the state by showing industry leaders firsthand how simple it is to be welcomed into Louisiana by offering lots of promises, then making off with more money and power after milking the place for everything you can get, and ultimately parlaying those gains into a more ambitious enterprise.”
