Bobby Jindal administration blasts metric system, Lincoln Chafee

[n2doc]

In a statement to Politico.com, Mike Reed, a spokesman for the governor’s office, referred to Democratic presidential candidate and metric system proponent Lincoln Chafee as a “Typical Democrat — wants to make America more European.”

“Governor Jindal would rather make the world more American,” he added, in his response to Politico’s request for comment.

Jindal is expected to announce his own run for president — seeking the Republican nomination — on June 24.

1. LOL, Jindal found his issue too! The hungry kids, unemployed, and failing schools in his State

need less metric system.

2. He's not yielding an inch on that issue

3. Or 2.54 centimeters either.

8. You've gotta hand it to him

If you want to be a ruler you've got to put your foot down

4. Is he going to outlaw metric tools?

Because that would kill about 10 million American jobs in one day. Idiot.

5. I can't fathom the need for this response

Bobby went out of his way by a country mile to do this

7. He's desperate for press.

6. Yeah, I knew when I heard Chafee use it that it would be really unpopular with

most Americans. Leave it to Jindal to make it into the "european" slur that repukes love to chant about. Remember the hollering about John Kerry's ability to speak French?

Typical.
