"60 Minutes" Profiles Gov. Bobby Jindal as the "Future of the GOP" - Video 3/1/09

Here is a 60 Minutes profile of Gov. Bobby Jindal that aired yesterday, March 1, 2009. Morley Safer calls Jindal an "awkward young man" in his lead-in to the piece, referencing Jindal's GOP Response Speech last week, but describes him as the man the GOP is counting on to be the savior of the party. In the interview, Safer goes through Jindal's life, telling some little know facts about Jindal. For example, Jindal changed his name to "Bobby" because he identified with "Bobby Brady" on "The Brady Bunch" as a child. Jindal majored in Biology at Brown University, and was accepted to Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School, but decided to decline both because he felt the pull toward public service and politics. All in all, it is a very interesting profile, although it has the typical left-leaning slant we have come to expect from 60 Minutes.
