Stephen Colbert looks at some of the people having ambitions of running for the presidency and their appearance at that reactionary love-fest known as the Values Voters Summit, and what some are saying about science, focusing on Bobby Jindal. I don’t know who will be the Republican nominee in 2016 but I am almost 100% certain it won’t be Jindal however much he panders to ignorance.

Do you remember when Jindal was the New Hot Thing, and Republicans chose him to give the response to Obama’s first congressional address? He came across like he was reading My Pet Goat to schoolchildren.
