Gov. Bobby Jindal presented a new business award to the Robertson family, of "Duck Dynasty" television fame, in northern Louisiana Thursday afternoon.

Jindal is honoring the Robertsons' work with their business Duck Commander, which makes popular duck calls and other hunting merchandise in West Monroe. The Robertsons will be the first recipients of the Governor's Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, which has never been given out before.

"The reason for this award is the tremendous impact that Duck Commander's expansion has had on our community and on all Louisianians," said Jindal, according to a statement.

Jindal's office has not provided details about the specific criteria for the award or what other businesses have been considered for the honor. The governor said the award would be given out periodically to "homegrown Louisiana businesses" that are expanding.

6. Why isn't there a like or recommend feature for posts yet?

It's starting to vex me.

41. If ever it was needed, it was needed for that post.

[TexasTowelie]

2. I have a few ideas about what Jindal can blow

and a duck call isn't one of them.

3. Oh, Bobby, Bobby, Bobby........

You idiot!

[Beachwood]

4. America is such a stupid nation

Let's admit it, we have elected the most stupid people to high office.

But, I'm sorry to say, most of the other democratic republics have done the same in the last 50 years.

Look who is still the mayor of Toronto.

With 538 Congressional people, 50 states, about 10,000 municipalies, we have our share of lunatics elected to office.

[Hulk]

12. Seriously....we really are. As a nation, we are so very sad.

It's dumb ass governors like this, that bestow honor on dumb ass parasites-on-stupid like these hillbilly phonies, that actually want to emulate such a buffoonish lifestyle...and we wonder why the world thinks this country is making it's last swirls around the toilet bowl before we slip into third world status.

Holy sweet Jesus, this is just appalling. Not a surprise that Mr Rogers would do such a lame act to gain favor with the empty headed teabaggers and nascar beer drinkers. We're #1, we're #1, we're ....fookin #1 at stupid.

5. fucking pathetic loser, is he trying to compete against clarence thomas

7. ....

[QuestForSense]

8. Bouie's very accurate statement is better than anything I could say.

According to Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast, "More than a year after saying Republicans need to not be the 'stupid party,' the governor of Louisiana has given in to the dumb."

9. I almost feel bad for the guy.

He's trying so hard to appeal to the hardcore conservatives in the Republican Base in preparation for a Presidential run when he has no chance. It's like watching the Cavs gear up for an NBA playoff run when they have no real hope of winning.

[MindMover]

10. Yeppers, Bobby and the fake bunch ... both fakin it together ...

[lib87]

11. Piyush Tries so Damn Hard.

Forget about working on poverty & education in the state. Focus on kissing Tea party butt in stead!

[alp227]

13. Right wingers complaining about Dolores Huerta getting a Presidential Medal of Freedom

will let Boob Jindal off the hook on this award.

[Plucketeer]

20. Let him off the hook?

Hell, they'll laud him in unison. Probably all jealous that they hadn't thought of it first!

[mike_c]

14. bread and circuses-- this is American politics at its most irrelevant and petty....

An award for fake rednecks from a "reality show." I wonder if we can find a way to cheapen public service even further?

[The Last Dem.]

15. does this mean

they get food stamps now?

[tomm2thumbs]

16. but he ranks

or should I say reeks

[randr]

17. Any port in a storm

[randome]

18. He is as clueless as he looks.

19. What next? Awards for David Duke's line of bed sheets?

Douche Dynasty sucks.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

47. Try Vitter's adult diapers.

Worry free, leak free, and that snug fit that you love! Get a set today. Get two, if you share with someone special!

[Tom Ripley]

21. "Thank you, little feller...whyn't you come along an' tote the water on the nex' huntin' trip?"

[Sunlei]

22. republicans make up these "never been given before" awards that slight every other real business.

[tomm2thumbs]

23. I think we should hence forth refer to him as 'Little Bobby Jindal'

I think it fits... in more ways than one

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. I wonder if Robertson ran to the washroom

and washed his hands after having to shake a brown skinned one like Jindal's.

ie..Does anyone honestly think if, say, a younger version of Jindal came knocking at their door for a job they'd consider hiring him?

[jsr]

42. It's not far-fetched

[Thor_MN]

25. Is the cost coming out of Piyush's pocket or did he use state funds?

[Roy Rolling]

26. Mr. Burns beat him to it

Sounds a lot like the "First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence"

[blkmusclmachine]

27. DUMB

[daligirl519]

28. Last night...

He made my mother throw something at the TV.

[hatrack]

29. Wank, wank, wank, wank, wank . ..

Can anything stop Gov. Kenneth-The-Page?

Survey says . . . . NO!

[fujiyama]

30. Yeah Jindal, your state is a real economic powerhouse...

http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2012/04/louisiana_the_least_congenial.html

"WASHINGTON -- Louisiana ranks dead last on a new composite index comparing how the fifty states fare on measures of economic vitality, education, health, crime and governance. The "Camelot Index" is issued annually by Federal Funds Information for States, a non-partisan subscription service created by the National Governors Association and the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks and reports on the fiscal impact of federal budget and policy decisions on state budgets and programs."

This same Louisiana?

God what a fuck wit...

[Cha]

31. Is there a more vapid head pandering asshole than jindal? ..

Nevermind.. I'm sure we can come up with even more vapid insipidness.

Jindal's all proud.. the racist fuck ducks will accept an award from him.

[SmittynMo]

32. So let me get this straight

Jindal, a far right ignorant republicant, gives an award, which has never been given before, to a republicant fake family of yuppies with racists tendencies? Why am I not surprised. And he wants to be president? Good luck with that Bobby boy.

[blackspade]

33. In other words it's a political tool....

Jindal's office has not provided details about the specific criteria for the award or what other businesses have been considered for the honor.

Without this it's just political grandstanding.

[BlueStater]

34. Give it up, Piyush.

Pee Wee Herman has a better chance of becoming president, you fucking loser.

[SunSeeker]

35. So much for Jindal wanting the GOP to "stop being the Stupid Party."

[mdbl]

36. Jindal has been trying for real Bubba status for years

He must be thinkin this will make him a good ol' boy.

[truthisfreedom]

37. If it walks like a duck...

Quack.

[Skittles]

38. if someone like Bobby showed up at the doorstep of the average Duck f*** fan

he's probably be shot at

[jsr]

43. Which is why they issued this T-shirt:

[Lifelong Protester]

39. Have to chime in, what a loser!

And yes, I'd like to be able to "rec" posts, too. Who do we talk to about that?

[calguy]

40. Bobby has officially joined the Stupid Party

If you can't beat 'em, Pander to them

[Prophet 451]

44. Five bucks says he invented the award...

...specifically so he could give it to this asshole.

[davidpdx]

45. Bobby J. says "I like racists"

[bayareaboy]

46. I was in the Auburn Ca. Kmart store here...

the other day. And found a closeout shelf with all sorts of Duck posters and calenders and coffee mugs. But there was an open spot next to it.

I assume that the Bobby jingle head dolls were going on sale soon?
