Bobby Jindal Snarks Back at Colbert over Evolution

Stephen Colbert mocked Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal’s (R) anti-science views on his show Tuesday night, pointing out the disparity between Jindal’s own impressive education (including a degree in biology from Brown) and his retrograde beliefs on evolution.

Jindal took the ribbing with good humor:

.@Stephenathome, missed ur show last night, was too busy pulling out pages on evolution in my kids' biology textbooks http://t.co/hSlZUjCWJc

It’s funny because Louisiana consistently ranks in the bottom percentile of education studies.

Jindal did, however, miss the cardinal rule of trolling: never link to the piece you’re mocking. It just sends them traffic.
