As one of the leading voices in the Republican party these days, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal found himself in a difficult spot. The Republican members of Congress were leaning hard on all their members to bring down the whole economic stimulus package. (Of course they were just taking their marching orders from their actual leader, Rush Limbaugh.) Joining his Republican brethrens in Congress, the Governor had no problem talking smack about the stimulus package:

I do worry about the debt being created. I worry about the fact that our children and our grandchildren will have to pay back this debt. And I worry that many of the programs that are being called temporary aren't really temporary at all," he said.

The problem is his state, you know, the one hit by Hurricane Katrina, sorely needs the infrastructure support. (Got levees, anyone?) Anyway, what's a poor old Republican Governor to do?
