WATERMELON HUNT

The mayor of Los Alamitos, Dean Grose, has Jindaled his career by sending an offensive e-mail containing a picture of the White House with a huge watermelon patch and the title "No Easter egg hunt this year."

Grose sent it to Keyanus Price, a friend and local businesswoman. Keyanus is black and was offended and stunned.

"As a black person receiving something like this from the city-freakin'-mayor - come on."

But that's not the best part. When Price emailed him and said she didn't think it was nice of him, Grose replied,

"The way things are today, you gotta laugh every now and then. I wanna see the coloring contests."

Dude! Stop while you're just a little behind.

Well one thing led to another and now Grose, who has been mayor since all of December, is stepping down.

But it doesn't stop there and here's where Grose completely Jindals his career. Grose said,

he didn't mean to offend anyone and claimed he was unaware of the racial stereotype linking black people with eating watermelons.

Really!? He was unaware of the racial stereotype linking black people with eating watermelons!? Really!?

Then what's so funny about a picture of the White House with a watermelon patch and the title No Easter egg hunt this year?" Like we're going to buy that excuse?

Now I know everyone's a little bit racist, some people a lot racist, but this guy is just plain stupid.

JINDAL ALL THE WAY HOME

Bobby Jindal go home, please.

Governor Bobby Jindal is a smart man. He has a master's degree from Oxford where he was a Rhodes Scholar for crying out loud. And he is...or was...a fresh face for the Republican Party. But boy oh boy did he stink it up last night in his response to President Obama's joint session speech.

Following Obama is a tough act to start with, but Jindal was exceptionally bad. One Republican likened it to the Rolling Stones opening for Air Supply.

If Jindal is the rising star of the Republican Party, the GOP is in trouble. I felt he was condescending and spouting out the same old tired message. And he got a lot of his facts wrong.

And to top it off, he's opposed to the stimulus package (which may or may or not work. I'm sure hoping it works. We need something to work), but he's going to take most of the money. So he's a hypocrite as well.
