Timmeh respekts the authoriteh strukture!
Timmy Teepell is Rep. Jindal's campaign manager and a risen star in the Republican Party. We'll have more about Timmy and Jindal soon, but for now I wanted to share
Timmy's interview with the Home School Legal Defense Association about "home school newlyweds" who choose to "reject usual dating practices". Timmy previously worked with the National Center for Home Education. You may find Teepell's story inspiring (the interviewer's queries are in italics):

Today we welcome Timmy Teepell who is a home school graduate and currently the executive director of the Madison Project, which is a political fundraising organization. This July, he married his lovely wife Sarah. Congratulations, Timmy! Welcome to the program. Timmy, did you or Sarah ever date, in the traditional sense of that word?Timmy: No we didn’t. I spent a lot of time with the Parkers, with the family, but there was never a sense between us of chemistry, or a romantic type of interest. We were very good friends, and I think the fact that we were both committed to not dating enabled us to become better friends, because there wasn’t that girl/guy awkwardness that a lot of times pervades relationships/friendships.
Well, obviously at some point in time you did switch to a chemistry that developed between you. What was the point of transition? What happened that changed from a friendship where you were there with the family to a romantic relationship that led to marriage?Timmy: Well, I went home for three months to study law, and I began thinking about the different friends that I missed, and I realized that I was thinking about Sarah a whole lot more than I was thinking about the other friends that I had left behind. So, I began praying about it and just really felt the Lord leading that she was the one. And the next time I saw her it just seemed like the chemistry was there.
Timmy, thanks so much for being on our program today to talk with us again about your courtship and marriage with Sarah. What kind of principles did you and Sarah follow during your courtship period?Timmy: Honoring her father, definitely. He laid down some pretty strict principles. He said no physical contact during the courtship period, and then to talk to him before we moved into the engagement period. So I went to him, we started courting in July, and I went to him in January to see if we could move into the engagement period. He said that he thought it would be great, and I waited until February 14th to propose.
How do these principles differ from dating?Timmy: Dating puts a lot of strain on friendships between girls and guys, because you’re constantly thinking with each girl you meet, “Is this going to be a romantic relationship?” We were able to just keep it focused on friendship and on serving each other, and not focused on your selfish needs and wants.
And when we were able to move into a courtship relationship, it was much different than dating because it was all under the authority of her father and honoring the authority structure.===
Update: Jeffrey makes a rather funny and likely prediction about Timmy's "Geek Appeal".

I wonder how many cows he had to pay for her.
Oh, Oyster! When will you Corrupt Clowns of the Status Quo ever learn that Louisiana voters are tired on these cheap personal attacks on the weirdos who only seek to exorcise the Gret Stet of its demonic past?
And this is the man who calls Boasso and Campbell clowns in his press releases?
I think I now understand why Timmy is such a vicious operative: he is too busy honoring authority in every other aspect of his sad and repressive life.
This is a Vitter waiting to happen.
@ Ashley - you beat me to it.
We were very good friends, and I think the fact that we were both committed to not dating enabled us to become better friends ...
He's either coming soon to an airport mens room near you, or will shortly be coming in a hooker. Rim shot.
Is this for real? Does this weirdo exercise influence over the Wunderkind?
What is it with these people and the dimuntive nicknames? Timmy is a name for 6 year olds.
Wow, I can't wait for this guy to be Governor Jindal's Chief-of-Staff. Louisiana is going to be awesome without anymore public schools where kids do things like date.
Father knows best is definitely the way I want to see the state run. With Timmy Teepel protecting the virginity of all our children and Jindal working his demon-exorcism magic on everyone else, there is nothing but good times ahead for Louisiana.
God, this is sad. The poor thing doesn't realize that it's easy to "non-date" and avoid any physical contact if the two individuals involved have no attraction to each other whatsoever. When he meets Mr. Right, he's gonna fall hard, hard, hard.
Say hard again.
hahaha
I think the South Park Timmy would be one heck of an improvement over this wahoo. Plus, he wouldn't be able to reveal a thing other than his own name at press conferences.
It would also give Pinhead Jindal some Gen X cred.
With the prospect of Bobby and Timmy in charge, I feel better already.
ever notice that many of these home-school wonders don't have normal jobs? Talk about in-breeding...
well, if you're disabled u have it pretty tough in the dating game but there are specialist dating sites for disabled people
