Leftbloggers are having a day of harmless merriment as they smear egg on the face of Bobby Jindal for saying he stood shoulder to shoulder with a Louisiana sheriff against the power of the Federal government when he, well, did nothing of the sort. I'm all fot he public humiliation of mendacious politicians, but Jindal's critics need to remind themselves that none of this really matters. They are dealing with the party of John Wayne and Ronald Reagan and Tail-gunner Joe McCarthy and the Bridge to Nowhere, where fiction trumps reality every time.
I'm not saying that Democrats don't do it, too (yes, I'm looking at you, Hillary). But establishing the disconnect between Life and Life: the Movie is just something Republicans are so much better at. Leftbloggers might as well remind themselves that when the dust settles, the base will remember the stuff about Bobby and the sheriff as they face down Washington power, and the second-day tedious fact-checking will fade to obscurity.
