Jindal draws laughs at D.C. dinner as he pokes fun at himself, other politicians

Washington - Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal poked fun at himself, fellow Republicans and, of course, President Barack Obama, as he delivered the Republican speech Saturday night at the 128th annual Gridiron Club and Foundation dinner.

Jindal drew some big laughs, and he delivered a series of one-liners in the traditional Washington night of political high jinks.

"You may not realize this, but even though the president may look calm and relaxed, he is sitting here right now shaking in his boots. He's terrified that I'll upstage him again - like I did in that State of the Union response a few years ago," Jindal said to loud laughter from the crowd of 650 at a Washington hotel ballroom.

"The Menendez scandal is disturbing," Jindal said. "Soliciting prostitution is completely unacceptable. We would never put up with that in Louisiana."

[font color=green]That was a dig at Senator Vitter. It's an interesting article to read if you want to get some cheap laughs.[/font]
