Bobby Jindal

Bobby Jindal is (was) [the 55th] governor of Louisiana. His political resume is nothing special, except for one tiny thing: In 1990, at Brown University, he cast a demon out of a classmate. He described the entire encounter in a paper he wrote for the New Oxford Review a few years later.

Jindal attended a campus prayer meeting with one of his close friends, a girl named Susan. She had recently learned that she had cancer, and a friend of hers had committed suicide just a few weeks before-mentally, she was in a rough place. Sometime during the prayer meeting, Susan suddenly collapsed in a seizure. The students gathered around her and Susan's sister declared that she was possessed by a demon. Bobby Jindal, along with about a dozen other students, put his hands on Susan and shouted for Satan to leave her alone. Susan continued writhing on the floor for a few more minutes and then woke up and appeared to be fine.
