Louisiana’s Governor Jindal is an upcoming star in the Republican Party.  According to WAFB Channel 9, Baton Rouge, Governor Jindal will be giving the Republican address following the president’s first address to Congress on February 24, 2009.  The Governor will be speaking from Baton Rouge.

Acccording to the article, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) said the governor personified reform and recovery, saying he was a strong choice to offer the Republican address:

“Gov. Jindal’s leadership during a time of recovery in Louisiana, his commitment to real government reform, and his protection of hardworking American families make him an excellent choice to offer Republican solutions for the challenges which lay ahead.”

Governor Jindal has done a fantastic job of making the government of Louisiana transparent and dealing with political corruption in the state of Louisiana.  He is a brilliant man, and a man of integrity.  He will easily be the future of the Republican Party.  That is the reason all of us need to be aware that there is a media target on his back.  He is a very definite threat to the status quo, and the Democrats will move to destroy him in the press as soon as they think they can get away with it.  Think of the ‘politics of personal destruction’ used on Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin.  Any member of the media with a sense of fairness (are there any?) needs to avoid buying into what is to come, and we as consumers of the media need to be aware of what will be tried.
