Arizona's birthers must be so depressed following Gov. Jan Brewer's decision to veto the state's delightful "birther bill," which would have required presidential candidates to present either their long-form birth or penis certificates for inspection. Who knew that Jan Brewer hated fun so much?

Is Louisiana Governor/exorcist Bobby Jindal corrupt? Obviously not, no—who ever heard of a corrupt Louisiana politician?—and yet The New York Times seems to be strongly implying that he is:

The GOP's rising star, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, was the driving force behind the construction of sand berms to curb the Gulf oil spill. They were considered environmentally unsound, and a presidential commission has found that they didn't even work.

[Oil companies and conservatives pulled the politically potent jobs card to shut down President Obama's offshore oil drilling moratorium appeal: "Rigs are leaving the gulf, and going to foreign waters." A federal appeals court ruled in their favor. Image: AP]

Religious people don't attend religious services as often as they used to, probably because they're boring. But what if you could take your awesome guns to churches, mosques, synagogues, etc., as you will now be able to in Louisiana?

The punditocracy say that Mike Huckabee's clemency towards a prisoner who went on to shoot four police officers has given his potential 2012 opponents a gift. But he's not the only GOP hopeful who's written his own attack ads.

The Republican party wouldn't be living up to its obstructionist reputation if they didn't offer a rebuttal to Obama's health care speech before Congress tomorrow. But rather than letting Bobby Jindal create another PR disaster, they're trotting out a doctor!

Bobby Jindal just can't win! The Louisiana Governor became a national joke last year, after he attempted to counter President Obama in that laughable speech. Now, after months of lying low, he's taking heat for taking a helicopter to church.

Sunday's Daily News featured a gossip item in which a hooker who worked for the same escort agency frequented by Eliot Spitzer claims that she serviced another sitting American governor on three occasions. Who could it be? Let's speculate recklessly!

Two politicians who have had a hard time keeping their pants up over the years are celebrating birthdays today. Eliot Spitzer is turning 50; John Edwards is turning 56. Other people blowing out candles today: Gina Gershon is turning 47. Elizabeth Hurley is turning 44. Eric Villency, the furniture store heir and…

Remember that up-and-coming young Republican who "wowed" the nation recently, on TV? Bobby Jindal? He scored a book deal. Which he's of course quickly ruining, by talking.

In politics, there are no permanent alliances. McCain-Palin? So 2008. On Meet the Press, David Gregory asked Senator John McCain if he'd like to see Sarah Palin run for president. McCain temporized.

Bobby Jindal isn't officially running for president in 2012. But he sure isn't wasting any time filling up his campaign coffers. We're pleased to share with you this invite that went out to top NYC Republican donors this week, promising "cocktails and conversation" with the Republican governor of Louisiana at …

Now that Liz Smith has been put out to stud, we need to reevaluate our idea of "gossip." (Probably needed to do this anyway). Who's worth gossiping about anymore? Well, not Paris Hilton.

Awesome: the urban-suburban/hip-hop-based GOP comeback has a website! It's called "The GOP Comeback" and it has a YouTube with noted hip-hop superstars Haley Borbour, Bobby Jindal, and Mark Sanford.
