Q: Real fast, Governor, the price of oil went up five bucks a barrel today. You’ve been drilling off the coast of Louisiana for a number of years. Any oil spills to worry about?

JINDAL: You know, that’s one of the great unwritten success stories, after Katrina and Rita, these awful storms, no major spills.

"Jindal is clueless about the reality in his own state. As noted in the Wonk Room, the Hurricanes caused offshore oil spills so large that they could be seen from space (check out a picture here.) The Minerals Management Service reported that 113 oil platforms were “totally destroyed” — a total of 124 offshore spills.

"In fact, oil seeped onshore into southeast Louisiana, which saw 44 onshore and offshore oil spills. The EPA called the spills “worse than the worst-case scenario.” Even oil industry representatives admitted: “nature can always topple you.”

"It’s hard to see how this is a “great unwritten success story.”

Jindal, of course, was echoing McCain's ignore the facts lying about Hurricane Katrina and oil spills.  What makes it worse is that he's lying about the damage in his own state!  Jindal should stick to being an educated but still loopy Elmer Gantry of exorcism.  He's a terrible governor and absolutely unqualified for the vice presidency or any government office.
