Beloved first-term Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal tossed aside talk of being John McCain's running mate this week, saying Tuesday, "I actually like the job I've got. This is where I want to be."

We wonder if he then stepped away from the microphone, muttering, "If I wanted to be your young, slender, caramel-skinned, neatly pressed, articulate, "ethnic" pawn to counter the Obaminator, I would have said so, you assholes."
