tried to fabricate another prostitute story to discredit the first story

apparently a madame's black book was revealed & Vitter was off with a sex worker while a vote for veterans/servicemen-women was happening

he also had state officials followed & recorded while they met for lunch, the spy got caught while peeking over a bush


this campaign was hella fucking messy

plus his poor showing in a debate where he played the "i'm rubber you're glue" defense

a chimp could've beat Vitter

It will happen.

http://www.salon.com/2015/11/18/good_riddance_bobby_jindal_louisianas_disastrous_governor_gets_the_comeuppance_he_deserves/

He entered office with an $865 million surplus and he will exit with a $1.6 billion deficit.

Funding for higher education has been cut by more than 80 percent, and the entire system is experiencing a fiscal crisis.

Funding for youth services has been cut by 40 percent.

Funding for Veterans Affairs programs has been cut by 69 percent.

The Department of Environmental Quality has been cut by 96 percent (in a state with a rapidly eroding coastline).

He rejected a Medicaid expansion in order to protest Obamacare, and thousands of low-income Louisianans remain without health care as a result.

Louisiana has the highest infant mortality rate in the nation; the highest diabetes-related death rate; the highest rate of death from breast cancer; the third highest rate of cancers deaths overall; and the eighth highest rate of teenage pregnancy.

He rejected $300 million of federal stimulus money (one his favorite talking points at the time), despite Louisiana’s underfunded and crumbling infrastructure.
He issued a symbolic executive order that defended discrimination under the guise of “religious freedom.”

He sold out his state to protect BP against legitimate lawsuits. (Side note: Jindal’s brother is a lawyer for the firm representing BP).

He held a massive “prayer rally” on the state’s flagship campus, a rally that promoted his presidential campaign and distributed materials blaming gay people for hurricanes and natural disasters.

He signed the Louisiana Science Education Act, which allowed creationism to be taught in science courses at public schools.
